5. I went on the Google Maps Street view, last night, and couldn't find any low clearance signs....

...leading up to that bridge! I mean, if the clearance is THAT close (which it is on that bridge) I would expect to see some clearance warning signs on or leading up to that bride, which I could not find.

Check it out, zoom in until you get to the street view, then go back-wards and see if you can find the low clearance signs. I don't see any.

Instead of signs, use the money to fix the goddamn bridge. Apophis May 2013 #6

That bridge is over 50 years old, it should be replaced. Up2Late May 2013 #8

I did not intend to come across as opposing replacing the outdated bridge. rhett o rick May 2013 #23
