    I think what happened here is that the Netherlands have always been a great place for civil engineers to find work, which meant many of the most ambitious civil engineers moved there, and then after centuries of competition and one-upmanship, it’s gradually been transformed into a civil engineering fairytale wonderland.

    As someone regularily renting sail yachts in the Netherlands I highly appreciate those bridges getting out of way almost everywhere. And I do really like it, how they aim for variety and style in their solutions. There is no modern "the Dutch bridge 08/15 style" blueprint used and only very old small bridges tend to be similar and plain simple. So my respect and admiration go to our neighbours for going the extra mile on beautiful technical solutions.

    It's a cool bridge when you watch at 2x speed, it would be very annoying to be stuck behind it when you are going somewhere. We have several draw bridges in seattle that are maybe just a little faster and they are always so annoying to get stuck behind. At least this one looks cool, they just need to crank up the speed dial a bit...

      I don't know about this particular bridge, but I grew up near a drawbridge across the entrance to the local harbour. During summer it was a popular pastime to jump from the closed bridge. And with the bridge keeper being positioned on the side of the bridge's hinges, there'd regularly be people hanging from the rising end of the bridge. You'd of course have to time your release right; too early and you'd hit the abutment on the near side, too late and you'd hit the abutment or hydraulic cylinder at the other side. And you'd have to watch out for boats crossing under the bridge. Needless to say all this was illegal, but like you said, teenagers ;)

    I always find it funny that the Dutch use the same (or very close to) design for road signals and rail signals (semaphores) the white outline gives that look. I bet it costs less.

    Imagine being late for work and having to explain to your boss you were held up by a picturesquely slow draw bridge and a sailboat.

    • @LogiForce86
      @LogiForce86 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It happens when there are a lot of boats lined up. Kids get late for school and adults late for work or appointments but there is an understanding here for it, so no big deal. It's not a fairy tale excuse like the dog ate my agenda and I forgot about my duties for the day.

    • @P1nkR
      @P1nkR 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Pretty much the standard excuse when you're late for anything here is "The bridge was open". When I still lived in Akkrum, during boating season the bridge to the harbour seemed to be open more often than not. Also sailing around Friesland is great and if you have never done it, you should.

      agree, you better explain to your boss why you are unable to plan in delays... if they would already even care being 10 mins later.
