Which consequence prematurely ended the use of rope bridges in heavily-traveled routes due to increased loading?

💡 Explanation

A decreasing tensile strength margin became unsafe, because rope fiber fatigue accumulates under cyclic loads, thus increasing failure probability. With increasing traffic, the margin reduced more quickly; therefore safety concerns ended their use in heavy traffic rather than concerns about resonance, crystallization, or corrosion.
