here’s a compilation of different people driving box trucks into a low bridge over and over
It’s worth knowing a few fun facts, courtesy of 11foot8.com:
- They can’t raise the bridge because it’s a train trestle, and raising it would require closing and modifying miles of busy track.
- They can’t lower the road because it’s directly over a sewer main.
- They can’t ban trucks entirely because there are too many local deliveries.
- That section of road has a speed limit of 25 mph, numerous signs alerting drivers to the 11'8" limit, and recently they added a sensor that activates the stoplight and a flashing “overheight warning” sign so that drivers have to stop and think really hard about going forward.
- The clearance is actually nearly three inches more than 11'8", the maximum deviation from the signage allowed.
- Trucks have been getting stuck or damaged since the 1960s.
The guy who runs the website (and owns the cameras) says he sees a lot more trucks pull up to the stoplight, look at the warnings, and turn off onto the side road, but about once a month, someone hits the bridge.
