I had a question regarding the legality of riding scooters over larger bridges.

Most 50cc scooters max out around ~63km/h on a standard flat city road. And that is more than adequate for cruising around to work, or over to a buddies house. But for obvious reasons, limited speed scooters ARE NOT allowed on a main highway. And they are clearly marked with the "has to go safely over 60km/h to use highway" signs. So what about some of the larger bridges around the lower mainland?

Small connecting bridges like the 2 road bridge in Richmond, or the Arthur Lang shouldn't be a problem. They are short, simple and not very tall. But how about something like the lions gate bridge? It has a speed limit of 60km/h, and most scooters would probably max out around 50km/h on the elongated uphill section. I guess we could also expand the question to the Alex Fraser bridge, and even the Massey tunnel.

I've heard a few different answers from people. A few blatantly said no, since you can't reach the speed limit. Others say yes, as long as its not a real highway. And I've had a few say yea, but only if you take the closest on-ramp to the bridge, stay in the slow lane, then take the first available off-ramp and revert back to regular street driving. The latter sounds the most correct.

So boys and girl, how does one go about tackling bridges?
