    If it keeps happening, maybe there’s a design flaw.

    The 11’8" bridge taught me that it’s always human stupidity. They have regular signs, flashing signs, sensors that automatically turn the light red if you’re too tall, and other stuff. And yet we still have regular videos of trucks opening themselves like tin cans.

      Ooh, the bridge got a moving truck last week, lol.

      EDIT: and there was a perfect can opener last month. It’s hilarious how, in spite of everything, that bridge is still fucking up trucks.

        They actually raised that bridge – or rather, lowered the underpass at what was surely great expense – and even at its new taller height of 12’4" it’s still not enough to help stupid people.
