Here's a thought: If such signs were posted, _and_ a number of
'dangerous' bridges had collapsed, d'ya suppose people might actually
pay some attention to them?  I think they might.  In which case
such a gov't would actually be doing a responsible thing by posting
such a sign.  Of course, some might find the training period a
bit harsh...
