As a first step, they can put in a secondary deck, to help drivers try it out and find out how fun the jumps are. After a while no one will use the old flat deck and they can remove it.

    What if you did a hill on top… So it was a parabolic curve.

      The Skye Bridge is a bit like that:

        I feel like you purposely tricked us with this picture. The perspective makes this bridge look crazy steep. It’s actually much more flat than it seems.

          I take your point, but “tricked” is a strong word - I chose an image that shows the amount of climb. Having driven over it, I promise , it feels crazy steep! :-)

          Yours really only shows the centre of the bridge, barely going beyond the supports. When you get a wider view, you can see just how much users have to climb at the start, to get to the top..

            Fair enough. It does look very steep, but I couldn’t find a good picture of the whole thing.

              Yeah, same, it’s weird that there isn’t one easily findable!
