Prague has a footbridge only for the skinny. The sign warns people against failure
The dilapidated footbridge in the center of Prague from the 1930s, which connects Smíchov and Radlice, has been supplemented by a sign warning people against failure. If you weigh more than 100 kilograms and want to cross a friend with the same status, you should avoid the footbridge.
In other words, “This footbridge is not for the fat.” Prohibition of groupings of persons and a maximum load capacity of 200 kilograms per square meter. On Monday, the TV Nova staff tested what pedestrians who cross here regularly say. I have considered some.
And they could cross the footbridge safely, the only solution is to carry a weight and a meter. “I have 66.5 kilos, so I can go to the footbridge,” the master rejoiced. “I have 40 kilos. Great. I’ve never seen that before,” said another passerby.
The poor technical condition of the footbridge is also confirmed by the Technical Administration of Roads (TSK). “We had the E13 traffic sign with the text about extreme load capacity and the ban on crowding on the footbridge preventively installed due to the overall construction condition” V – Bad “, when the worst condition is” VII – emergency “,” the administration said.
“We actually laughed at it, it’s funny and creative, but we’re wondering if TSK will be creative, even if something happens there,” said Renáta Zajíčková (ODS), mayor of Prague 5.
According to estimates, a total of over 2.5 thousand bridges and footbridges are in a deplorable state throughout the country, up to six billion crowns a year going to repairs.
