Modifications to existing bridges and overpasses.
To tag or not to tag...that is one question.
Design so that no one can toss anything, of size, over the sides...is another. GO! Last edited by ColdNoMore; 03-08-2019 at 05:23 PM. |

I'm all for fencing, and as mentioned previously there are attractive alternatives to unadorned chain link. Here are some examples:
6 Decorated Chain Link Fences | Curbly If you do a google search on images for "chain link fence art" you can see some pretty amazing stuff. Some, tacky. Some, lacking the Villages vibe. But the fact remains - fences don't have to be ugly or boring, just because they're made out of metal wire. Last edited by OrangeBlossomBaby; 03-08-2019 at 07:07 PM. |

I think any new golf cart bridges...should be tastefully enclosed/fenced. |

Something similar to these, with maybe a little more artistic decoration...would add a lot of safety IMHO.

Probably should be talking to the State since they approve the specs on what goes over their roads if you are that concerned.

While it was very sad, why, just because one obviously sick person did herself in, should they ugly up our bridges? Can't protect everyone from themselves unless we all walk around in locked padded steel bubbles. If someone wants to off themselves they will find a way to do it. This isn't like NYC where people throw bricks at cars off a bridge. She could have just as easily thrown herself in front of a car or train or pulled a fake gun on a cop.

To me, the issue of having a high barrier on the sides of golf cart/pedestrian/bicycle bridges...has nothing to do with stopping suicides. It's about keeping people from throwing, or losing, anything off of those bridges...that could affect the traffic below. |

I like the top one better than the "enclosed" one that looks like a long cage.

I’m assuming this thread is about modifying existing and new bridges in TV?
I personally, don’t believe TV’rs are rock throwers, so why not have gates only opened by our cards on either end, and also add cameras on the bridges. As far as preventing suicides by jumping, there have been no definitve studies that show that bridge fences reduce jumping deaths in a given area. |

I rather like The Bridges Of Madison County design.
Wont stop the suicidal, but their last look, would be more aesthetic. |
