Before the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge is a small sign, but most New Yorkers never notice it. The maximum permissible weight is 3 tons and exactly here is the point!

The Brooklyn Bridge was built to pass on, but main engineer John Roebling, among the builders of the most important bridge in the 19th century, projected the space six times as strong as the normal calculations that were.

Although it is more than 130 years old, it was found to be 'structurally deficient' in a 2011 federal government study.

But while a limit of three tons may seem like a proper decision to set the rule, there are actually a large number of passenger cars that make threefold of these tons.

N.Y.P.D - The policemen on both sides of the bridge do not look worried, but there are actually 8 car models that by law do not really pass the famous bridge of New York.

  1. Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 4X4 - 3425 Kg
