Patrick writes: "A sign on the bridge limits the use to five snowmobiles at a time. Wooden sticks placed along the mainspan carry the yellow square on corner caution / directional signs during snowmobiling season. This bridge must see so much use in season, and to prevent head-ons on the obviously one snowmobile wide deck that there are posts at each right side of the anchorages at each end of the bridge that carry lighted timed green / red traffic limiting signals (in season). This is the longest snowmobile suspension bridge I've been too. Its dimensions are nearly the same of Sahale's Kapalua Suspension Footbridge in Hawaii that I had a hand in helping to construct."
