Not to sound like a rich snob, but it feels like you can see the developmental status of a country by the methods one can get from A to B without car. In Europe, especially Northern Europe, this bridge would have been 4 laned: 2 in the middle for cars and the two outer ones for bike and walking
Or a second bridge a bit further only for pedestrians and cyclists so you don’t even have to be near the cars and the walk or cycle becomes even more attractive and less noisy
Urban yes, countryside not so much. I drive 10km to work along a narrow & winding 2-lane road with 80km/h speed limit. Not even a strip for pedestrians/cyclists let alone an actual lane. And that’s in the relatively densely populated South of the country.
