If there isn’t an app for determining the height of overpasses along a designated route and alerting you to the lowest ones, there’s a money-maker for someone!

It only helps if the agency responsible for the warning signs updates them properly. Back in my hometown in Idaho years ago, they re-paved/re-surfaced the road down through an underpass. They added 2-3" of new asphalt. They didn't update the signs.

Permit routes are checked as before they are issued. The problem occurs when the load doesn’t match the permit.
