10. Usually, there's an area on the span with only one lane each way. Tough to reverse.

It's strange when the closed lane is the one paved with concrete, and you have to drive on the lane paved with steel grate.

Even stranger when driving a motorcycle on the steel grate and you can look down and see the water. And the steel grate makes the motorcycle steering a bit random.

I wonder if the ferry still runs that strait.
