That's a real scratch-your-head kind of news story. Even if the driver misses all those signs and lights, the bridge probably <looks> to be lower than the usual with just a glance. I drive a cargo van, and I know where I'm going to fit and where I won't. You drive a big rig, you really need to have a sense of this. Thanks for the post.

Exactally why you can't drive a trailer truck to the worcester yard unless you make a roundabout route.
