The bridge is too close to the intersection and trucks are supposed to turn off the road at the intersection, so they can't block them from getting to the intersection.

Have you not seen the hanging pipe deals I'm talking about? It's a pipe hanging from rope, cable or chains at the height of some obstacle coming up. From the FAQ at 11foot8.com it says there are warning signs three blocks leading up to this intersection, so over height trucks had plenty of warning by now to turn off and go around. If they hung it right before this intersection, it wouldn't stop the trucks them from getting to the intersection and turning. They would hit the pipe, hear the noise and finally get the message that they aren't going to fit under the bridge. Since the pipe is hanging, the truck can pass under it and it will swing up and drag across the top of the truck. It would do a hell of a lot less (if any) damage to the truck than hitting beam guarding the bridge, and not send fly debris that could injure someone.

Edit: Farther down on the FAQ page it says that a low clearance bar can't be used before the intersection because trucks have to deliver supplies to the street before the bridge. Well then, put that bar after the intersection so a truck driver would hit it first, hear the noise and possibly stop before smacking the guard beam.

Why don't they put one of those dangling pipe things at the intersection with a big ass sign that says if you can't fit under this pipe you're not going to fit under the fucking bridge?


There is a sewer line under the road so they can't dig down... also the bridge is too used to raise it up...

>> ^CaptainObvious:

Jesus F Christ, why don't they just dig the road a foot deeper under the bridge.
