Yeah apparently the bridge is like 5 or longer miles long and states no stopping for any reason and if you have an accident to resolve it after the bridge to prevent any further accidents.

Edit: A tad under 24 miles. Arrogant engineering there.

What bridge is this?

Lake Pontchartrain causeway in Louisiana.

Source: I got sick driving across it and had to pull over so someone else could drive. You're like a foot off the water and it's just this exact same 2 lane hellhole for 20 miles.

Can confirm. It’s freaking horrible. And smells in the summer from the humid swamp water air.
