Comments on: Building bridges over Linden Land?

Yes, it is possible. You have to own (or be allowed permission to build) on both sides of the road. There's a trick to it though. Your bridge has to have it's root prim located well within the bounds of the property you're allowed to build on. On the other side of the road, it would be well advised to have the permission of (or own) the land that the bridge will end up on. Building in two large pieces that join over the center of the road is probably best advised (mostly because of the restriction on distance for objects. Also, remember to allow clearance for larger vehicles. I've done this before and didn't have any problems from the lindens or anyone else, though I made sure the only infringement was quite a bit over the road and not really restricting any access over or on the road.

well… having land to one of those Linden roads that are not paved.. never have been and probably won't be .. of course we built bridges. We make them high enough so that you can sail under them with a yacht…. and nobody has ever complained. Nobody has ever looked at them.. I guess. nobody.. ever cared about the bumpy grass plane they call a “road” in our sim.
By now we took down the bridges.. and instead simulated our own road pavement by using megaprims pushed in place and anchored on our land. Totally unsatisfactory of course.. but since nobody but us seems to care…

The question isn't *can* you build a bridge over Linden roads (because you can), but *should* you. If they interfere with the ability of people to use the road as a road the Lindens will return it to you. It's essentially parcel encroachment and way you slice it. Remember… it's not your land. It's public property. If you build any sort of bridge it should be like a scripted drawbridge that only appears when you need it. Otherwise you can look forward to finding it in your lost and found eventually.

btw, the new Linden roads are being made with places to rez vehicles every so often so you won't have the problem Orion talked about.

Just build your bridge and link it up with the root prim on your land. 30m is the link limit (you'll notice with 4 10m prims linked in a row, the centre of the furthest 2 prims is actually 30m from each other) so with that you can build a nice bridge over a road and place the root prim on your land.

If you wanted a big bridge, just build half in your land, half in your mate's land and make them meet in the middle, unlinked.

Happy Bridging.

Thanks for all the comments people, i have done it!

i basically took Orion notes and worked with them. i put 4 10m long planks together and linked them end by end. then put this on one side of the road with the halfway mark clearly on my land, then made another exact copy and put it on the other side clearly still half on my land, and they met in the middle over the linden road. now if you do this you have 40m to play with and i don’t think any linden road is 40m wide…

happy building, thanks again.
