Last week, we visited the host city of this year’s Summer Olympics. So, this week, we’ll visit the host for the 2012 Games – London.
This would be the iconic Tower Bridge, carrying the A100 across the Thames River immediately southeast of the Tower of London. It’s a drawbridge, and was opened in 1894.
Traffic using the bridge is also limited to a 20 mph speed limit, and an 18 ton weight limit, with both restrictions strictly enforced via sensors and cameras with license-plate recognition technology. Orwell would be proud, I’m sure.
