Talk:Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge

message: ==Walking across the bridge??==
Why is it banned to walk across the bridge? How are the poor people supposed to reach the other shore without a car?
: Taking the question seriously: For pedestrians, there is a high risk of attempting suicide by jumping from the bridge. (See Bosporus Bridge). Moreover, it is a highway  bridge lying on the Trans European Motorway (TEM) and so not easily reachable by foot from urban areas. There are city buses serving urban areas on the both sides of Bosporus over the bridge. CeeGee 13:47, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Moreover; it is too high above the sea level to reach from the urban areas, it is too long to walk, and there are also boats available to cross the Bosporus in addition to city buses that use the bridge. --386-DX 12:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

text: The suicide rate is pretty interesting --or disappointing if you're the person trying to kill yourself.  Maybe people figure the spectacular location is worth the mediocre chance of death.  I bet the pistol lobby is helping keep the bridge closed to pedestrians. --Bobak 00:12, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The dimensions of the bridge are probably wrong. I've just travel to Turkey and it's obvious that the Second Bosphorus Bridge is smaller than the first one. In en-Wiki, they're both with 1510 m long and 64 m high. In tr-Wiki, the lengths are respectively 1560 m and 1090 m. Thanks. 200.169.29.70 (talk) 13:17, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
