With customizable ports, offshore oil industry, industrial fishing, and ferries, you will have a lot of ships and boats on the water, and building bridges with enough clearance for them can be tricky.

At this point, traffic at either end of the bridge is stopped while any vehicles or pedestrians already on the bridge make their way to the other side. Once it\u2019s all clear, the bridge begins to open, and once it\u2019s fully up, the ship passes through. Then, you guessed it \u2013 the bridge closes again, the traffic control beams open, and traffic resumes crossing the bridge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can imagine, this process takes more time than a red-to-green traffic light cycle, meaning movable bridges can cause more of a delay in travel time when a ship needs to pass through.
