Good on ya. Fuck 'em!

The color of the bridge is officially an orange vermilion called international orange. The color was selected by consulting architect Irving Morrow because it complements the natural surroundings and enhances the bridge's visibility in fog.

Here's a thing I've wondered about for awhile, and it just occured to me to mention it in this thread:

I live in a pretty rural area of SW Washington, but I often see big rigs rolling down the country roads nearby. About a year ago, I learned why - seems these truckers are ditching I-5 just south of me and rejoining it just north of me, all to avoid an interstate weigh-in station.

Do trucking companies tell their drivers to do stuff like this as a matter of course? Or are the drivers going rogue? And why exactly would a driver want to avoid a station - maybe they know their rig isn't really safe? maybe their load is illegal? avoiding a delay/fees on the road between Portland OR and Seattle WA? What?

Thank you in advance for any enlightenment y'all might have.

Drivers for big companies have little or no control over the load. Owner/operators will sometimes carry more than legal.

I think it should be gold flake. A pilot should be able to see that.
