Now when I think of a bridge I'm driving over, I think of a bridge not by the definition of a pathway over a depression or an obstacle like the dozens of signs I saw on some roads in Pennsylvania coming back to New York the other day. I don't even know I'm riding over a bridge. So no wonder, it's confusing to read these signs that say "Bridge May Be Icy".
First of all, there is no bridge...no bridge I can see like bridges in NY. For example, the Verrazzano Bridge, The Brooklyn Bridge, The Mario Cuomo (Tapanzee) Bridge. Those are bridges.
But what really irks me is what do they mean by that the "Bridge May Be Icy." Am I supposed to guess? Should I assume it's icy? Why not a sign saying "Bridge May NOT Be Icy," It works both ways you know. this To be or Not to be.
Why not a sign saying , "There's a Possibility The Bridge Is Icy".? Now I realize that a sign needs to have a short message. We're driving past it at a fast speed and no time to read a full paragraph as we drive by. .....which leads me to this more accurate sign that says more in just a few words. "..The Bridge Might Be Icy BUT You Won't Know It Until You Drive On It. "
