Repostamania!

some of these signs lie. for example, going into the parking lot at work, my truck touches that low clearance sign chained down from the ceiling, but it actually has a lot more room when inside. maybe some section of the parking garage is that low, but i haven't seen.

What idiot would build an open structure that large with no lateral bracing. The thing would blow over in a stiff wind.

Nope, you have a good 24-36" leeway from the posted height........[grabs popcorn and lawnchair and runs to nearest overpass for some fun]

I was thinking the same thing, it went all the way down way too easily.
