Keep Clear Markers for Height or Weight Restrictions
If bridges have height or weight, restrictions: make these clear. You can mark height restrictions with a bright pole of the same size just ten to twenty feet ahead of the bridge. If a truck hits this, they'll understand they need to stop and hold back from driving under and wrecking the bridge. For weight, a good idea may be to include weighing stations half a mile before the bridge, where a truck can pull off and ensure it’s not too heavy for the structure. These locations should also have alternate routes the truckers can take to ensure there are other options available.
