Question for others (could be its own thread but you guys know about bridges).
When I go over Brownwood bridge and maybe a couple other bridges (golf cart bridges) there seems to be a walking path up and down but they stop at the main part of the bridge. Meaning they sort of lead right to the golf cart road over the bridge. Is walking over these bridges allowed? Seems if you are walking you’d have little space to get out of the way. The raised curb on the side is too thin to be walking on.

I doubt many walk over those bridges after doing once.
According to Don Wiley, at that time of design, FDOT was afraid walkers would throw stuff on the roads below. So FDOT would't approve a pedestrian walkway across the bridge.
More recently, several bridges, that look strikingly like the Villages bridges, have been approved with pedestrian walkways accross the Turnpike, Including the Bexley bridge.
