love this. there has to be a junkyard with fucked up box trucks around there. I wonder if the rental companies like Budget and Penskey have a clause in the contract that if they destroy a truck by hitting that bridge they pay for it.

I've seen this before...when there are several accidents at an intersection/onramp/offramp they reevaluate the design and change it. The fact they let the bridge sit there without extra lights/warnings/etc should be getting people in government positions fired.

Says it's in Durham N.C.. Maybe it is some sort of experiment by researchers at Duke. Seems pretty insane to not just fix that little trestle so it's tall enough to let a normal 12 foot tall truck through.

It's practically indestructible because it is a railroad overpass (which usually means a/the freight company owns it), so they can't do anything about the bridge. It's been there as long as the city has been there, but it all just grew up around it. IIRC, it's pretty close to the DBAP and so trendy downtown Durham, so it is a high-traffic area. ...I think they have placed signs at distance markers before that bridge, but I'm not sure. They do have giant yellow signs
If anything, I think they can lower the road under it, but there is no moving that track. They should also work on re-routing or just preventing certain vehicles from approaching that intersection.

They need to put multiple padded hanging / swinging foam rollers farther back and along all the side streets approaching it. Not a bar that could snag vehicles and payloads (some vehicles on those side streets might be turning away from the bridge anyway), but a large lightweight foam roller thing. Any interaction with it should set off loud horns, blasts of water mist, flashing lights, and giant flashing signs: "DO NOT PROCEED [LEFT/RIGHT/AHEAD]. YOU WILL IMPACT OVERPASS!"

Hahah, we definitely fired this guy as a dispatcher a couple years ago. He hit me up on Linked in a month or so later and I think that was his exact profile.

To be fair, that's like saying instead of putting on deodorant, go take a shower. That's not why your armpit tends to smell after only a short while...
