  • Additional Information (if any):
    It is a car bridge over a highway, there is no location to safely reach the location and stand there as a pedestrian:

Apart from the safety angle, is this a famous bridge? Should generic structures such as bridges be accepted as POI?

That one have pedestrian access right? i literally saw a person exiting the bridge.

yeah, now that you mention it I can see something that looks like a pedestrian/cycling path.

either way, I’m still curious as to whether generic bridges are considered acceptable

The pedestrian area is shaded in green and it stops short of the bridge structure. The red tarmaced cycle lane continues across the bridge. The same happens on the other side. It would not be safe for pedestrians to stand in a dedicated cycle lane where cyclists will be travelling at speed.

It al depends if it meets the wayfarer criteria. In case of this bridge you can explain why this is a great location for exploration: Krúsrak - Wikipedia

However, the safety concern is more important than above.

Oh, so in this case it is architecturally distinct, got it. I’ve recently seen generic, albeit decades old footbridges being nominated as “historical monuments” (they are not) and was wondering about that, thanks.

Wait are u saying people need to use bike to cross the bridge that way? Personally if its in indonesia, that lane should be big enough to accomodate people walking along with cyclist. Its weird if u want to cross but u cant because u dont have bike.i mean…whats those guy in street view doing heading/leaving bridge. They are probably crossing the bridge right? .but i guess different country might have different rules.

The street view below is further south from the location presented by @iFrankmans. This traffic sign seems to indicate that this red road is for bicycles and motorized or electric bicycles only. Pedestrians are therefore not allowed to cross this bridge. The shape and construction method of this bridge is very distinctive, but unfortunately it seems inappropriate as a Wayspot.

Thanks for the appeal, @iFrankmans! Based on our research, we’ve moved the wayspot in question to the correct location.
