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.
So, you appear to have more sensible truck drivers or they at least can read. We have here in Cologne what the locals call the "idiots' bridge" which regularly gets hit by trucks, The council have tried it all: signs, blinking lights, the lot. Has alleviated the problem somewhat but there is still the occasional champion who gets stuck. Next, we've had to restrict one of the two motorway bridges across the Rhine to trucks above 3.5 tons for the time it takes to build a new one. Signs were happily ignored, mainly by foreign drivers. So where cameras to fine the offenders which were ignored again because perpetrators were out of the country long before they could be caught. In the end, they had to install weighbridges and automatic barriers. Even those are sometimes crashed through but at least they sort out most of them now. Ralf -- Ralf R.
