The Sheppey Bridge has a poor design meaning that drivers cannot see what traffic is over the top of the ridge until they reach it. If people are driving like a maniac or there is low visibility, drivers cannot see other traffic until it's right in front of them. This has led to horrific accidents & now two lives have been lost unnecessarily. Something needs to be done and soon! For every Islander's safety!

Of course you can not see over the top of the bridge until you get close to the top, its a hill. And as a car driver you should not be driving that fast that you can not stop in the distance you can see ahead of you.

From the Highway code: 126, Stopping Distances. Drive at a speed that will allow you to stop well within the distance you can see to be clear.
