If you hit that sign chances are you'll rip it down and drop it on the car behind you, as can be seen happening in the video in the linked article.

A fairly low bridge (high enough for a standard trailer, but any oversized loads on a flatbed could easily hit it) in my area had what were essentially large metal cans hanging by wires along a sign warning about the height. Anything tall enough to hit the bridge would hit the bits hanging from the sign and clang them around/together/against the vehicle which makes a pretty audible noise for the driver.

More severe low-tech solution: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=blackwall+tunnel&hl=en&ll=51.496467,0.002017&spn=0.003841,0.009645&client=firefox-a&hnear=Blackwall+Tunnel,+London,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=51.496422,0.002184&panoid=PxV8zQOysXqalADtmkbjSA&cbp=12,359.88,,0,-2.48 https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=blackwall+tunnel&hl=en&... (Blackwall Tunnel, northbound, London) And again, just in case you missed the scraping sounds the first time: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=blackwall+tunnel&hl=en&ll=51.498531,0.001545&spn=0.00384,0.009645&client=firefox-a&hnear=Blackwall+Tunnel,+London,+United+Kingdom&t=h&z=17&layer=c&cbll=51.498663,0.001526&panoid=1CoD-kL0V2llH65kjm_5Pw&cbp=12,359.68,,0,-2.48 https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=blackwall+tunnel&hl=en&... (For some reason they don't appear to have anything similar going south...)

  There is a diversionary slip road for overheights (OHT) on the approach to Blackwall after the first pic and before the second. If you've made it to the second (having ignored a good few red lights), expect to be prosecuted.
