Remember, that most infrastructure in this country is relatively old--yet the feds continually allow larger vehicles on the road. The infrastructure was built to allow passage of vehicles of the day. Unless a road has a large amount of vehicular traffic, upgrades to permit passage of larger vehicles is seldom a high priority. <br /> <br />Also, with most states facing a budget crunch, where would the money come to finance such upgrades? I would rather spend the money on education and police. This way, the trucker should be able to read the Low Clearance sign. If they choose to ignore it, a cop should be near to ticket the nitwit. <br /> <br />Lastly, what would happen to those passengers on the double decker bus if they hit the bridge? Same result as if they hit a protective girder, but without damage to the bridge. Drivers need to be held accountable without passing blame towards others. <br /> <br />Just some thoughts. Have a good one!
