This doesn't pertain to the car on the bridge, but 2 different times I've seen cars pull onto the cart path at Bailey Trail and BV by Lake Miona. There is no post (and no "no car" sign) at the path entrance there and the path is fairly wide at the entrance so I can see how a visitor or new person might think it's a road. Two hypothetical scenarios come to mind...
Someone is following directions that say "go through gate and take first left". The first left would be the cart path. Or someone coming from the opposite direction toward the gate MISREADS the sign at the gate to say "No CARS Beyond This Point", and thinking that they can't go through the gate, takes a quick right onto the path.
Both times the vehicle was driven by what appeared to be a fairly young person, which made me believe they were visitors and not residents. And both times an oncoming cart driver stopped them before they got too far and helped them back out.
