I'd like to be The Bridge Crash Reporter for a day. Interview the clueless knuckleheads for a Youtube channel for some post-crash analysis.

Maybe reducing the speed limit to 15 MPH right before/at the bridge (as well as all the signs and flashing lights) might add to the heads up something I need to be aware of is approaching.
At the very least would be a great cash grab for the local PoPo when writing the tickets for hitting the bridge. But, then again It is entertaining! |

That tool with the camper ran that red light by a mile. Dickhead could have killed someone.

I always love seeing those. That asshole with the camping trailer sped up and ran the light, the red light is meant to alert you and give you time to see the sign.

They seriously put mics on the cameras? That I beam setup is impressive. Maybe it could be sharpened or shaped like a plow and it would just remove the entire roof.

There is a railroad bridge like that in St.Louis close to the river front. Its the one by the casino.
I have seen the top chopped off a truck myself there, twice. Since I am rarely in the area is was either amazing luck to have seen that or there has been a lot of trucks with the top chopped off. |

So basically they raised the bridge so more expensive vehicles can misjudge the height.

On most straight/box trucks the box height is stenciled, backwards on the front corner of the box so the driver can read it in the mirror.

The raising of the 11'8" bridge in late 2019 was watershed event that ushered in the disastrous year of 2020.
Don't believe me? Lower it back to the proper 11'8" and see what happens. |

I seriously doubt the unit made any complaints to the state, city, or county about the bridge. Likely there was a FLIPL finding the driver & vehicle commander at fault and docking them a month's pay each. |
