There are rest areas on both sides of the bridge which are being renovated so 1 of them maybe closed. There is also several scenic spots BEFORE the bridge and while the top of the bridge has outstanding views it is NOT a place to slow down and stick your phone/tablet out the window to take pictures. There is also fishing piers on both sides of the bridge. The traffic can be pretty bad during the rush hour, sometimes it can just traffic or there has been a crash and everyone is rubbernecking. I highly suggest purchasing a Sunpass as the tolls are cheaper with it over cash.
