I have always thought that the bridge weight ratings were way under rated . Crossing with a moderately overweight would not cause immediate failure but may contribute to shortening the life of the bridge. Damage could be reduced by reducing speed. However the deplorable condition of bridge structures (much of it caused by weathering) in some areas is a matter of concern.
