Why didn't they use anti-climb paint? It's made for the express purpose of preventing people climbing anything you put it on and it stays slippery and unset for years. Unlike butter, it won't wash off in the rain, won't go rancid and won't draw flies. Well, it’s great the butter worked (for now), but that’s not gonna be a long-term solution for the problem.

This was defiantly a top tier government decision. It may deter people from committing suicides on the bridge, but it may increase deaths due to workers slipping and falling off the buttered bridge.
