Why does the sign say 12’4"?
They raised the bridge (or lowered the street?) by 8 inches after constant complaints, so now the bridge 12 foot 4. Unfortunately (or fortunately), it’s still low enough to take the roofs off tall cars
they raised the bridge, not due to complaints, but to make it more level with other parts of the tracks so the trains can go a bit faster along that stretch.
Ah, thanks for the added context
Because it’s 11’8"+8"
Is there an 11’8" community on here somewhere?
For the innocent few who are like, “What? No way this happens that often. People read signs.” I implore you to find a position within a retail setting for a week and report back.
After more than 30 truck hits on overpasses in BC this last year the only viable solution in my opinion is to put a device just ahead of the overpasses flashes lights to tell other vehicles to get away from the truck, then stop the truck with a spike strip before it can do tens of millions of dollars of damage to infrastructure.
At least put a cross beam like the one in the video, a lot less dangerous to cars when hit than the overpasses which will have crumbling concrete falling to the road.
I think a giant swing arm with a large hooked spike on the receiving end would be best. Hit the arm with your over height load and the spike swings around and catches/destroys your trailer before you can wreck the bridge.
When you go to the Barber and ask for a little off the top.
I can now die fulfilled. The perfect peel was what I was missing.
Like a fkn can of tuna
Looks like the truck was 11’ 8.25" tall.
