If you look into the history of this bridge, you will find that they add
more and more and more warnings all the time, and the height is accurate.
They added a steel bar indicating the clearance, before the bridge.
They added signs, signs, and more signs. They added height sensors with
blinking lights that warn a driver that his vehicle is, in fact, too high.
The city has done all it can short of digging the street lower or
replacing the railroad bridge, which they may not even have jurisdiction
over. Oh, and every time the bridge is struck, they have structural
engineer assess its fitness.

I'd have thought the lights would help. Signs are easily ignored. I
guess they need a drop down curtain, pop up barriers, or grappling hooks.


I've been watching all the videos on the website and one thing that
jumps out at you is the amount of rental trucks and RV's that strike the
bridge-- probably 90%. Neither of those require a CDL to drive.

That explains a lot.
