Bridges have often been subject to superstitions, perhaps because they are a literal passage between two places, and often symbolize movement from one stage of life to the next.
In many parts of the world it's considered unlucky to be the first person to cross a bridge. Workers sometimes leave money in the plaster of a new bridge to protect it and ensure good luck. Some people touch the roof of their car, or spit, when driving under a bridge while a train or other vehicle is passing, supposedly to make sure it doesn't collapse. Here are some other interesting bridge-related customs around the world.
