The warning sign on a new bridge in China said maximum capacity 40 persons. The bridge collapses when a crowd surged on to see the view. It's daft to expect the public to stand counting to forty. Children would struggle. Foreigners can't read Chinese. With people running on and off a long bridge how are you supposed to guess 39, 40, 41, 40? While you are counting everybody else is running past as families or coach parties rush to stay with the leader. Your father or coach party has disappeared way ahead of you. The answers as others have said is, design the bridge to support the number who can get on it. Restrict entry. Have a counting device. Have a warning sign when numbers are exceeded. Say why numbers are restricted.
