Version of OpenTTD

since 1.11.0, Win10, Probably caused by #8439

Expected result

The number of bridges visible on the game map is not overwhelming.

The longest visible bridge on this maps has 19 tiles, all the longer ones have been removed

Comments from PR #8439: Feature: Make town bridge max length a function of its population
perezdidac (author): I tried different town sizes and bridge lengths and 20 seems too much regardless of the city size.
2TallTyler: I think 20 tiles is a bit excessive and would lead to large cities building ridiculous bridges. What about keeping the current 11 tile length?
Comment from the discussion preceding the above PR (#8388: Maximum town bridge length)
2TallTyler: I generated a map with lots of bridges (high number of towns and medium sea level) and did a quick survey of bridge lengths (again, not counting bridge ends). In general, those with a length <= 4 nearly always look appropriate, bridges length == 5 are about evenly split between silly and appropriate, and bridges> 5 tiles are mostly silly.

Actual result

After the change in version 1.11.0, cities can build very long bridges. As a result, after a while, there are tons of ridiculous bridges going nowhere around the cities located by the water. The effect seems to be inconsistent even with what Perezdidac, author of this change wanted to achieve.

The entire body of water near cities is covered with bridges. It just looks wrong. Much worse than before the change.

Now, whenever I launch a new game, after a while, a lot of ridiculous bridges are built up each time. This happens even when I open some old save.

Steps to reproduce

The problem is most noticeable / nuisance on maps with a lot of water.
