If it were done well, would there have been 100+ accidents?

- chrisseaton 6y agoI guess I don't understand why tall vehicles are approaching a bridge at such speed that they don't have time to react. It doesn't seem an abnormally low bridge in the first place.
- compiler-guy 6y agoIt is about two feet or so below modern standard for bridge clearance. But it was within spec when it was built.
- necovek 6y agoI am pretty confident an abnormally low bridge would have fewer accidents — the fact that it looks like it's just high enough doesn't help matters. Perhaps the simplest solution is to introduce a light hanging (eg rubber) plate to make the underpass appear even shorter so people do stop and look at the signs.
- compiler-guy 6y agoI used to drive under this bridge almost every day. It is remarkably well signed. But some people just can’t be reached. I’m reminded of the elective attention test. http://www.theinvisiblegorilla.com/gorilla_experiment.html http://www.theinvisiblegorilla.com/gorilla_experiment.html
