Borrrrrrrrriiinngg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry but the answer makes no sense to me. o.o
When a drawbridge is open (when it is in a raised position), cars are not able to cross the bridge, therefore it is closed to thru traffic. When a drawbridge is closed (when it is in a down position), traffic is able to pass across the bridge, therefore it is open.
hi, well i just go and pass through riddles that i think are intresting, and im sorry but i dont think that this one was one of them!!

My guess was incorrect but I had the right idea. I guessed a circuit, and a circuit conducting electricity is much like a bridge conducting traffic. Great teaser!
