@br00t4c@johnelalamo My partner was buying a car and asked me to come along - mainly to sit in the back seat and admire the view. After 20 minutes of the ‘salesman' just talking at me she abandoned the test drive and told me that next time I could come along to see how comfortable it was after she has decided but before she paid!

@inquiline Huh. I have some ideas that there might be regulations around human bridges and risk that might factor in to this, but it really seems like that kind of clash shouldn't be hard to resolve in reality. I'm intrigued by the security really seeming focused on preventing humans crossing (for liability reasons?) and ignoring all those pipes outside the fence--i.e., there doesn't seem to be an infrastructure protection issue, just a req to stop humans sharing that crossing.
@geonz@krisnelson I guess that little staircase and gate in the middle is a clue, worker/maintenance access.
It's truly the most dystopian infrastructural site. The people who'd be most motivated to cut a hole and cross anyway are likely the people who live up and down the river banks on both sides, who are on foot or on bike, but not recreationally, & thus for whom the sanctioned crossings are most inconvenient.
