Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about using GlassWindowBridge.com
No. GlassWindowBridge.com is an independent, community-run platform. It is not affiliated with the Government of the Bahamas, the Royal Bahamas Police Force, or any official authority. Always verify conditions locally and obey official signs and personnel.
Status is calculated from recent community reports submitted within the last 60 minutes. Newer reports are weighted more heavily. If there are not enough recent reports, the status will show as "Unconfirmed." Admin staff can also manually override the status for accuracy during known events.
Create a free account or log in, then tap one of the four large report buttons on the homepage. Your report is submitted instantly with a single tap — no forms to fill out.
To prevent spam, there is a 5-minute cooldown between reports per account. This helps ensure the feed reflects genuine, current conditions.
Mixed Reports means recent community reports are conflicting — for example, some people reported the bridge as open while others reported it closed. This could mean conditions are changing rapidly or that reports are from different times. Use extra caution and verify locally.
Unconfirmed means there are not enough recent reports in the last 60 minutes to determine a reliable status. This does not mean the bridge is closed — it just means we don't have fresh data right now.
Trusted Reporters are users whose reports are given extra weight in the status calculation. Trusted status is granted manually by site moderators to users with a history of accurate, consistent reporting.
We cannot tell you whether it is safe. We can only relay what community members have reported. Always use your own judgment, watch for waves on the road, and turn back if conditions look dangerous. If the bridge is officially closed by police or posted signs, do not cross.
The site is designed to be fast and readable on mobile. However, please do not use your phone while driving. Pull over safely before checking the status or submitting a report.
