This could be fixed with signage. There's a low underpass on the former
NY, NH, and Hartford, tracks where it crosses US1 in Madison CT, where
tractor trailers used to regularly get their trailers either scalped or
stuck. Signs were place at several locations to warn of the impending
doom, and they seem to have worked. Hasn't been a stuck or wrecked
trailer at that location in several years.

One would think so, but until three weeks ago, this one-lane wooden bridge
was used daily by commuters as a link between two US highways.
The biggest problem was the fact that trucks would come to the bridge based
on their GPS directions, and them have difficulty turning around when they
realized they could not cross the bridge. This could cause huge back-ups.

The sides don't look to bad. I suppose the real problem lies in the load

For years there has been an old wooden one-lane bridge in our town over
the
NJ TRANSIT tracks. A few weeks ago, the New Jersey Department of
Transportation suddenly announced the bridge is in poor condition,
requiring an emergency closure. NJT, the state and other entities are
arguing over who has the responsibility for repairing or replacing the
crossing. In the meantime, traffic is routed through the adjoining
neighborhoods.
I went out look at the closure, and decided it was a bit interesting.
