Slauerhoff Bridge in the Netherlands will blow your mind!
The Slauerhoffbrug (or Slauerhoff Bridge) is a fully automatic bascule bridge in the city of Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. It uses two arms to swing a section of road in and out of place within the road itself and is named after the writer and poet J. Slauerhoff. The underside of the bridge is painted in the colors of the coat of arms and flag of Leeuwarden: blue and yellow. Absolutely incredible!

This is insane!!! I feel like it was engineered by Disney! So cool!
almost broke my neck
What really blows your mind is the way this recording its switching between horizontal and vertikal filming.. 😮
nah, what blew my mind is the fact that only the scooter waited for the lights to stop flashing before proceeding, everyone else didn't lmao

wow
"The Slauerhoffbrug (English: Slauerhoff Bridge) is a fully automatic bascule bridge (aka tail bridge)[1] in the city of Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. A tail bridge can quickly and efficiently be raised and lowered from one pylon (instead of hinges). This quickly allows water traffic to pass while only briefly blocking road traffic." "This *quickly* allows water traffic to pass while *only briefly* blocking road traffic." ...yeah right.

The 18 bridges in Chicago takes at least 10 minutes to cycle for a single boat. They tend to wait until multiple boats group up so the time is usually more like 15-20 from start to stop. 6 minutes is lightning fast.
Got here from Feral Irishman!
Very interesting, very nice form of art. Many might think it's not important but it is. One thing though, and I see this elsewhere too. What is with those damn lights waiting so damn long to stop flashing red? Everyone ignores it because those lights are wrong. Gates to up and you're good to go. What's with the hold up?

it's just for safety. Officially you have to wait until the lights are out, in case the bridge opens again or a malfunction occurs. We also have these warning lights at a train crossing, as long as they are not off, the barriers may go down again because another train is about to pass. You can even get a fine for it.
I am not an engineer, so I’m sure there’s a logical and obvious answer, but why not build the bridge higher?
Flinke vliegenmepper. Kunnen ze dat ding aan de onderkant niet opschilderen als een pizzadoos? ¨Hier had uw advertentie kunnen staan¨. Leuke brug, hoe dan ook.
There must have been at least a thousand ways that this could've been done easier. Looks nice, but why?

There is counterbalance so I think is low power consumption other than that I don’t se reason

So that boats don't lose everything on their deck or their masts because the bridge is to low.
All good but why you flipped your camera left than right… hard to watch… now I am flipping my phone like idiot… that’s why I will never watch that video fully…
I'm betting it was designed by someone who operated a forklift while putting himself through university.
Everyone hating on the slow design, how camera rotates, blah blah blah. Obviously people dont look at anything other than judgement. I think its cool, may have no real reason of existing, but at least its different.
het ontwerp vind ik erg lelijk
wat een "Bullshit" 7 min.wachten als het ook in 3 min.kan!!
so.....?
About 80x larger than it needs to be for the amount of road it's moving, for that it's WAY slower than it needs to be, and doesn't even look that good.
Very over engineered solution. But if the country got the money to to create expensive projects that solve simple problems…go for it.
Ugly design
