Nice solidly built bridge.

If some local university engineering student wanted an interesting project, he could create a camera setup that identified the trucks that were about to run into the bridge, and caused a STOP message to flash.

Even a simple flashing sign that said CAUTION -- LOW BRIDGE would help. Or a stop sign.

The video is funny, but that is just too much pointless property damage.

We have several 11'8" train overpasses in our town. They have put up bigger signs and flashing yellow lights, but that hasn't eliminated the accidents.

There’s plenty of warning. It does no good.

As an example, there’s a business next door to mine. It has a nice large well made sign, anyone who is conscious wouldn’t miss it.

Many people still come to my door looking for the other place.

For an experiment, I tried putting signs on my door like “Danger Electrocution Hazard”, and other such warnings.

Didn’t do any good. People opened my door anyway and asked for the other place.
