Terrorist threat on bridges?

This is stupid. It takes a terrorist threat on bridges for people to figure out how to drive across a damn bridge. I have been driving across the Narrows Bridge for years. The Transportation Dept. has been trying to figure out how to fix the problem of congestion on it for as long as I can remember. They've passed a bill that will cost taxpayers millions to fix the problem. They've even raised the speed limit on it to 55mph and people still do anywhere from 5mph to 35mph across it.
Most of these people are commuters, they drive this bridge every day! Now that the terrorists have threatened the bridges, people have figured out how to apply pressure to the right pedal and drive at a decent speed across it. Today (Friday) was probably the first time I can remember that the traffic was doing 55mph to 60mph across the bridge in mid rush hour. This isn't nice, but the Trans Dept should have published a threat a long time ago, if that is what it took to get people to drive across it at a speed that doesn't cause major congestion. I mean come on! Their life has to be possibly threatened before these people can figure it out. According to them I am a lower life form and I figured it out a long time ago. Are normal people that stupid? Or is it the herd animal syndrome that effects their thinking process?
