San Diego-Coronado Bridge, locally referred to as the Coronado Bay Bridge. From Wikipedia: The bridge was designed exclusively for motor-vehicle traffic: there are no pedestrian walkways, bike paths, or even shoulders. It has been said that the reason for this was to prevent persons from leaping off the bridge to commit suicide. Considering the volume of traffic on the bridge as of 2006, should a vehicle break down or encounter another problem, it will almost certainly cause a serious collision, as there is nowhere for the disabled vehicle to go, and no way for oncoming traffic to avoid it.
