exactly, it's not about "changing" the definition, it is about
describing it better for people that read the definitions less
attentive. The page speaks about "height limit" and displays a traffic
sign. This is clearly legal, otherwise it would state: real height,
physical height, just height, clearance or whatever. The sign
indicates that we're talking about legal issues.

+1
