It is a hill start to give even the most confident learner driver nightmares. The Eshima Ohashi bridge in Japan – the third largest of its kind in the world – rises sharply so ships can pass underneath. The concrete road bridge spans a mile across Lake Nakaumi, linking the cities of Matsue and Sakaiminato.

The two-lane concrete road bridge stretches 1.7km or just over 1 mile long and has a width of 11.4 metres making it the largest rigid frame bridge in Japan and the third largest in the world.

It's incredible slope, which has a gradient of 6.1 per cent on the Shimane Prefecture side and 5.1 per cent on the Tottori Prefecture side gives it a rollercoaster-like appearance.

The unusual steep bridge was recently featured in a commercial for Daihatsu Motor Co.'s Tanto minivan to test the vehicle's durability.

am sure there must be an inscription or sign that will be written like this: "60km/h No breaking, no stopping, just keep moving and if you are a learner like the first guy that commented here, please turn around".

True brother. But is that what you'll rather be thinking about on such a bridge? That's u welcoming heart attack instead of remaining calm!

I think we need such in Nigeria to serve as a test mechanism for motor road worthiness. We have plenty old rickety vehicles in Nigeria, especially buses.
