Wow, I never thought about that........, cool......

I can somewhat relate (being American), when driving on the roads in England. After I made a U-turn there, I had to pay attention for sure.

For the safety and integrity of this bridge, this concept does NOT have to be on a "bridge" per se (over water), it can be on land... they'd just need to make room haha

We used to have typhoon couple times in a year and mostly they affect us for 12 hours. To us, typhoon means a holiday for hanging out friends to play mahjong or watch movie.

that bridge is very cool.

63rd?? I used to live on 20th floor of the public housing in Yuen Long and I cant even open the door because of the strong wind

Yes, 63rd in a high rise on the tsim sha tsui side. It was absolutely ridiculous.

lol you can add me to the list

a lot of high rise like that to 60th floor, the outside is all "sealed" glass, so inside it doesn't feel the wind directly, but probably the vibrations
