This bridge has a good win rate
(files.catbox.moe)
Wasn't the OVERHEIGHT sign flashing for every single one??
They also raised the bridge an *official 8" and installed the crash bar you see in the video.
3 weeks later, the first truck hit the bar:
https://11foot8.com/raising-11foot8/
- The posted height is 12'4" now but it really is 12'8" at the lowest point under the bar.
Edit: Videos on the raising of the bridge
I like the last guy. "This is gonna be close so I'm gonna take it real slow and careful. Uh oh I'm scraping... Fuck it just go!"
Kinda unrelated runt: I hate when vids like this are served as gifs. You don't have a media control bar so see your progress and can't move your position. I'd need to watch the whole thing until I realize oh it loop (gl notice that). Bah.
Moments before "no, I don't need you to get out and check, people will think I'm not manly!"
"Maybe I can sneak under it and the bridge won't notice!"
The Can Opener never disappoints.
If my navigation system says this is the way I must travel, I will follow it blindly.
I seriously doubt those truck drivers need a navigation system. The mobile home owners, maybe.
This is the kind of thing I could watch all day lol
We really need a camera on the other side to capture driver reactions.
Lol, me as well ๐.
I really wanted that last slowed down RV to make it. Nope - NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM.
Everyone needs a shave every once in a while. Sleek!
Considering how close the vehicles are to the bridge height, I wonder how many were inaccurately measured. Like the truck for an example. The driver might have been told that the cargo space was 12ft tall, and so it should have fit just fine. However, in reality the height of the truck is actually 13ft, so a few inches gets taken off the top.
The overhight flashing should be enough... at least for me.
Oh, I didn't realize that was specifically telling the drivers in the video that they were too tall. I thought it was just a general warning to anyone passing through.
Originally, there was a pair of flashing lights next to a sign that said "Overheight when flashing" that would light up if the sensor was tripped. Then they replaced it with traffic lights that would stop traffic and flash "OVERHEIGHT MUST TURN" like you see here if the sensor was tripped.
Of course, that caused the dumb truck drivers to just floor it and run the red light.
No, it actually measures vehicles if they're short enough to pass. My guess would be a IR receiver-transmitter combo with a simple "flash if tripped" circuit, but still, that is enough to draw the driver's attention.
