so with everyone on the far right lane going at 80km/h and you wanted to change lanes. hmmmm you would have to either slow down or increase your speed to pass and change lanes. I don't know about you I feel more safer changing lanes at 50km/h on that bridge with the narrow lanes.
-the south mouth of the bridge has a curved slight turn, so upcoming bridge road in front of you here would be coming at you blind. With the amount of reaction and brake time it needs to stop a car. If something was to suddenly happen on the bridge, going 80km/h won't give you enough time to stop.
But by all means 4444 drive 80km/h on the bridge!! Please make sure there are no cars or buses on the bridge when you do so.
Personally I don't want to loose control at 80km/h on that bridge.

Isn't the speed limit 60?
As for curved exits, that's not what I'm talking about, makes sense to slow it down
Also centre lane changing direction causing problems? How, it's not like they change every hr, and they close the centre lane for both directions for a while to ensure no chance for confusion
I just can't believe how simple some of u are on here
