they were but not right before the bridge collapsed. It doesn't look like any vehicles are moving across the bridge before it collapsed. It kind of looks like there were some stopped vehicles though, but hopefully not.

Not sure if it was mentioned here yet, but the bridge is a toll bridge and I heard (not verified) that the harbor pilot on the boat recognized what was going to happen and radioed in to stop the bridge traffic. If true, he definitely saved more lives.

There was a video, a minute before it struck the bridge, a car racing across the bridge from left to right.

The ship's captain called in a "MayDay" so they stopped traffic to the bridge a minute before impact.
