Okay I have no drawbridges close by, is it because traffic backs up so much or because the drawbridge takes so long? I imagine a combination so really curious on the drawbridge time needed I guess.

Used to live in a city that would raise a bridge for a ship but I tried not to travel that way if possible. It was on the coast so you could drive around, though probably worse traffic felt like it was moving.

It’s both. Some large and slow ships can take half an hour just to go under the bridge. By then you’ve accumulated a significant back up of traffic.

Oh I had no idea they could take that long, the bridge I knew about obviously handled much smaller ships I think like 15mins was max for the bridge time from the city I knew. Of course this city was still like 30mins driving end to end (in better traffic) so not huge. Appreciate the reply, thank you, learned something which is always a bonus.
