Is installing a steel beam 10-30 feet before the bridge on either side that difficult?
For a layman that seems like a simple fix to deal with drivers who cannot read the signs. Shift the damage away from the bridge.
Does someone in the town administration make loads of money whenever the bridge is hit and a repair contract is handed out to their brother-in-law's firm?
- rezaprima 3y agoEven better, shift the damage directly to the truck

- m463 3y agoI wonder if a laser sensor that turns on a red traffic light could help with this. People might not stop for warning lights, but a red light? maybe add a sign under the red light - "your truck is too tall and will be destroyed if you continue"
- albert_e 3y agoYes that's an even better idea -- less intrusive if there are worries about steel beams destroying the visual beauty of the old bridges. Any or both of these ideas could be implemented for much less cost than bridge repairs and closures, I feel.
- lesuorac 3y agoI believe this light is triggered by a sensor for over height trucks. However, there's definitely trucks that ran the red light as well as there's little distance between the light and the bridge. https://www.youtube.com/@11foot8plus8 https://www.youtube.com/@11foot8plus8
