Once upon a time Seattle built a low bridge over its industrial Duwamish River. Lots of traffic passed over the bridge, and lots of tall container ships to and from the Orient passed under.
So the bridge would raise, which held up traffic.
In response, Seattle built a high bridge for giant ships to pass underneath without holding up traffic. However, the city also kept the low bridge for cars and trucks. It is a Seattle-style political compromise. Make sense?
