The biggest difficulty in placing the beidges in sim tracks is that wherever you put them someone finds fault with it. It either blocks the view for a dozen spectators, or is dangerously close to the track - or maybe takes the place of an important gravel trap.
You're right: in real life they won't have any grudge against placing a bridge so it blocks the view for some spectators - there are numerous examples. We've also found examples of "shorter than it should be" gravel traps because a bridge was in the way. In real life the direction from which the trucks come is more or less given, so where the bridge should be is much more "automatic" than for us.
