One Lane Bridge Alerts
It would be great to have a warning when approaching a one lane bridge, given that it's an important time to slow down and be prepared to stop. By one lane bridge, I mean a bridge with one lane that is shared be the traffic going in either direction (https://www.nzta.govt.nz/roadcode/general-road-code/road-code/about-driving/giving-way/giving-way-on-one-lane-bridges/).
Generally one direction gets the right of way, so it would also be handy to have that included in the warning.

Will happily resurrect this thread for 2024!
With permanent hazards now, it would be amazing to have one-lane (crossing)/yield to on-coming traffic for situations just like this.
In British Columbia Canada, I've been working on doing some basemap updating and we have a lot of two lane highways. They are critical for essential access but they don't have the traffic volumes (or sometimes space, or both) to justify building a two-lane bridge.
As such these crossings are one-lane traffic, the one direction (general outbound) will have the rightaway, while the other direction will yield to the on-coming. So its going to essentially have a two-part hazards - one a PH of one-lane bridge(traffic) and another for one-lane bridge plus a yield.
Having this hazard would be anxcellent enhancement to the Permanent hazard alerts.Couple of Streetview examples
WB one-lane with yield https://maps.app.goo.gl/m157W2fqNwcQXkzj6
EB one-lane w/o yield https://maps.app.goo.gl/aKToCLVnuXV5nigq9This bridge has single lane approaches you'll yield to traffic, along with another yield to traffic at the bridge crest.
