The hidden magnificence of this is the engineer who created the crash beam. That thing has taken a pounding and it’s still going strong!

[@PutItAway101]

Can-opening thin metal roofs prob doesn't bother it much, but every now and then there's a truck carrying a crane or some other kind of very solid heavy equipment and the crash beam handles it with aplomb!

[@keiharris332]

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

What I don't understand is why they dont dig 4 feet of dirt away and lay the road lower. Ounce of prevention, pound of cure because there will always be morons who have no clue of what they are driving in. Who pays for that? The ocmmunity, and their bonus is that the viaduct is not closed off for half a day, every two days.

[@skylerjr2648]

​​@@paulmichaelfreedman8334Easier said than done. First, the railroad is who owns the bridge and who would pay for it. In order to dig they first have to verify if that's even an option. Water, sewer, power, etc could all be running under that road. On top of rerouting rail traffic which could cost them millions all said and done. When the simple solution is idiots paying attention. It literally has a sign that lights up long before you enter that tells you if you are too tall. You don't even need to know your height, just how to pay attention.

[@ArlanKels]

The amount of times I see semi's run red lights around here(Not at the bridge, I don't live near there thank god) is insane. And it usually results in near crashes every time, because they just don't give a shit.

[@CSXIV]

The best part? That light automatically changes red when it detects an overhieght truck (to sit them through 30 seconds of a big flashing sign saying "overheight, must turn.) so it's turning red for them. And then they run it.

[@bigbigj6407]

Was literally about to comment on that! That and the box trucks.

[@stephennewcomb4277]

the light is designed if it sees a truck oversized to turn to red to give them extra time to read the sign instead they speed up and run the light.

@@timothywalker801 If only! Perhaps along with a sign that reads TRUCKS OVER 12' 4" above a big black arrow pointing right.

[@MrInquisitive]

That sign is ambiguous. If you're not from the area, you could think the sign is just a general warning vs a specific warning for your particular vehicle.

[@vink6163]

At some bridges I've seen them put a row of short chains hanging down from overhead a little way before the bridge. If you hear them brushing against the roof of your vehicle as you drive under it then you have time to stop before you reach the bridge and cause damage, because the chains do hardly any damage compared to actually hitting the bridge (especially when reversing out again). I think more bridges need those to alert everyone who doesn't take notice of the signs.

[@udubeats4543]

@@_gingerale_ Licenses go based on weight of vehicle, not height. There's reasons for this, mainly due to maneuverability and bridge carrying capacities. On a regular license it is absolutely doable to drive a large moving truck for example without training. And most of the time the driver will have no issue turning, backing up, etc. Technically all drivers are responsible for knowing the height of their vehicle- it just doesn't really come up for normal cars and SUVs so it basically goes ignored

A lot of them are Penske and Ryder trucks, which are like UHaul...rental trucks that ordinary Joes and Josephines can hire to be self movers. So, no CDL required for those ones.

[@budsmokasreefer]

Alot of places that rent big trucks like this specifically exclude the top foot in their insurance. We rent from enterprise often and ask how we found out and now use our own insurance.......

[@TheStockwell]

Nah - that's how they make their money! You rent a truck to some poor sap, tell him he's liable for any damages - and tell him, "All bridges in town are dangerous . . . except the always friendly 11-foot-8. That one's a breeze with room to spare. Ignore the flashing warning sign - and have a safe trip, Chester!" 😸

[@bloggerccc]

Probably. As a Frequent Visitor to Hawaii, I'm familiar with a place called Ka'ena Point on the northwest tip of Oahu. The roads leading to the point, itself, from both direction deteriorate into just trails. The car rental agreement makes you promise not to drive there. Certain vehicles have selected exceptions. (Sherman Tank, D-9 CAT, etc. 😁)

[@allengrobin2811]

I absolutely loved this. I used to live in Durham and actually witnessed a truck get its roof ripped real bad and wedged. The driver got out looked clueless. Obviously didn’t understand rule #1- Know how tall your tuck is (hint its posted in most truck cabs) Rule # 2 Look at height warning signs. Rule #3 remember rule #1. If the max height of your vehicle, trailer , cargo is is unknown, make it known, measure it and don’t be a dummy. Human nature being what it is I expect we will continue to enjoy many more videos of self inflicted idiots at 11’8”

[@JVR10893]

Learning where your truck height is posted on your vehicle is one of the first things you learn in CDL training, as well as looking for clearance checks. There's absolutely no excuse for these accidents, and its not surprising that a lot of these involve the drivers also running the red light.

[@dennisgoans701]

[@ShireNomad]

If you look carefully, it's not the bridge itself. There's a VERY sturdy crossbar set up right in front of it, which is what the trucks are hitting: it either stops the truck cold or peels off anything that's high enough to hit the bridge. Either way, the bridge stays completely undamaged (which you definitely want when there are freight trains going over it) and someone just has to replace that crossbar every so often.

My uncle who just turned 100 owned 3 trucking businesses. The only ever mishap he had was leaving a milk tank trailer improperly secured at 2 am whilst having to reverse his truck to pump milk in a tight location. Trailer broke loose and damage a house. He choose 1 day jail to avoid loosing his license.( that was in Switzerland around 50 years ago) Sometimes I wonder why US trucks do not have a huge sign on the dash given the clearance?

[@vacexpert2020]

It's surprising what trucks do and don't, ALL school buses are required to have them in my state as are all commercial chassis emergency vehicles, they have it printed in bold above the windshield, there's a bridge nearby that a few of our trucks can't go through, the rig itself clears but the overhead emergency lights or water cannons won't, some fckwit found that out the hard way, destroyed a $3K state-of-the-art light bar that was designed to be low profile but wasn't low enough to clear that particular bridge

[@maxkronader5225]

Because it is a clear requirement to obtain a commercial driver's license in the US that you know the height of any truck you are driving. You are supposed to verify the height of your vehicle with a tape measure during your pre-trip inspection if you've never driven that truck/load before.

From Feb., 2016... "the...signal will be connected to the height sensor and stop traffic when an overheight vehicle is detected. A warning sign will try to alert the driver to the clearance limit and suggest turning onto Peabody St. The idea is that stopping traffic gives the driver more time to evaluate the situation and perform the necessary arithmetic."

[@troyswilley4584]

They increased the bridge height (or lowered the road I'm not sure which) to reduce the damage being done to trucks I assume. You'll notice at 12'4" they aren't being peeled and abruptly stopped as often as the old 11'8"

[@jesse_-]

I have a bridge on front of the building where I work, and trucks get stuck under it all of the time. It’s also only wide enough to fit one vehicle through at a time, so when a truck gets stuck, the road closes down for an hour or two. Would be nice if the put up a pole a hurdled feet before the bridge to help prevent people from getting stuck.

[@genomic_]
