Not that I’m aware if I’ve ever sped across this south Louisiana I-10 bridge, but daaang! You won’t even be able to speed in the middle because they’ll be timing you on the ends. Starting August 1st, if you cross it in less than 18 minutes, you’ll get a speeding ticket. By the way, it’s 18.2 miles long. #SoKeepItUnder60

And the real reason they're doing it:
--- Quote ---Wilson told a House committee DOTD would only capture enough money from tickets to cover the cost of operating the camera system and would send the bulk of the fines to the two parishes along the roadway — Iberville and St. Martin parishes.

Per the data cited in the article, there were 229 crashes last year. I'm no expert but that seems like a lot for a single roadway... over 4 per week. Does anyone know what types of crashes are commonly occurring here?

Good. People drive way to fast on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge. It's a delicate bridge and it has a low speed limit for a reason. Don't upset the vibration because you are an impatient reckless diver.

What is the bridge's resonance frequency? Sounds like a design issue to me.
