Ningbo bridge, a view to a crash

The world's longest sea-bridge from Shanghai to Ningbo opened on schedule (May 1st), cutting travel time to the port city from 4 hours to 150 minutes. However not everything is going according to plan.

Reuters reports that the view from the 36km behemoth is so arresting that drivers have been stopping their cars to take a look, causing regular accidents and over 300 arrests. Since it will be another two years (two years?!) before the viewing platforms in the middle of the bridge are finished, slack-jawed yokels eager for a souvenir snap have taken to posing in front of traffic cameras.
