5. The infamous can opener bridge.

I wish we could move it right into the path of these idiot convoys. It would be perfect justice!

7. In Boston, it has its own verb

It's known as "storrowing" for Storrow Drive's many treacherously low overpasses.

A box truck innocently enters Storrow Drive — maybe students renting a U-Haul or a delivery from out of town — and doesn’t take heed of the signs noting a 10-foot height limit. Before they know it, the top is shorn off the truck or they’re stuck under a bridge with traffic backing up behind them.

Boston’s Storrow Drive is now infamous for a certain kind of accident; specifically, the truck-to-bridge collision. In fact, the phenomenon of trucks hitting the underside of a bridge on the parkway has become so iconic that the term “Storrowed” now loosely applies to any truck-hitting-bridge incident around New England.

8. Thanks for sharing the link.

I am now retired, but I spent over 21 years training school bus drivers. One of the last presentations that I created was about height clearances and weight limits. I found the articles at your link extremely interesting and, rather sadly, amusing.
