Highway overpasses look smaller when you are underneath
I was thinking of this when driving home

They put a support column in the middle of a street?

Won’t help. You do not want to be underneath that structure during an earthquake.
Or driving on top of it either.

Absolutely, I remember it from early childhood. But think about it, if your eyes are 5’6” off the ground and you’re on a 12 foot overpass, then when you look up, it’s only 6.5 feet above you. But if you’re up there, then the ground looks 17.5 fee below you. Same overpass, but vastly DIFFERENT perspectives.

“it is hard to believe there are 6 lanes of traffic overhead like the one below.”

Maybe because it’s a different bridge?
To: SamAdams76
I got one for you.
The white stripes on Interstate highways don't look that long.
I got a dollar that says they are at least ten feet long.
*Construction/destruction zones excluded.

Underneath the area is broken up by the supports making it look like smaller sections.
Above there is the openness of the road without the supports.
It's perception.
Underneath it's smaller confined space. Above, it's the vista of the road and the sky.

Stripes?
I thought they were dots.
Cue up the song...
Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense,
Them telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said "slow down, I see spots,"
The lines on the road just looked like dots.

Good call.

Perhaps because when you’re passing under it, you’re going perpendicular to the lanes that you’re used to staying within when you’re driving on it?

Nice pretty new sidewalk alongside that ‘not-a-street’.
