There is actually signage alerting people to this hazard, as is the norm, in addition to the lower limit. Ironically, there is a low bridge a mile before this bit of road with huge signs alerting truck drivers that it is quite a bit 'l

Dear Professor, here is a reality check. The first step to becoming poor is losing the ability to have a credit card. There are many steps subsequent to this first step. More than I can list here. I would go so far as to say that the vast m
