I say we start construction right away! Ok, I admit, as a driver a high-speed car ramp is interesting—ok, downright exciting. It offers a unique alternative to [traditional bridges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aquapraa) or crosswalks. A high-speed car ramp would allow free passage for [cyclists and pedestrians](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vincent-boutin). Although it would entail more gas expenditure, it would also be highly entertaining as well as a sure tourist draw for Lisbon.
