Can't believe the city doesn't put up a bar to hit first before the bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariano Costa Posted June 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 The guys in charge must be in some contracts with AC manufacturers and workshops, otherwise I can`t understand why they seem to not give a f*** about that bridge being crashed over and over. What does that mean for stability of that bridge anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Janice Arthur Posted June 2, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 My guess is that this is a railroad bridge and they won't allocate money (probably a lot) to change the height substantially (involves grading ahead and after etc.; all of which makes this tiny little bridge expensive and so signage is simpler solution. The truck damage isn't on their dime, hey we put up lots of signs!! It's inspected as needed and because it keeps meeting structural measures it stays!! All those rental truck/RV crashes are novices who don't read the signs. Amazing video. (I live near two similar situations and semis coming off an expressway find the bridge at the bottom unmakable so more than weekly one gets pealed back and stuck.)

Mariano Costa Posted June 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) The guy who did that video explained on his website that the bridge is 100 years old and wasn't built with that height clearance in mind. To protect the bridge those yellow lights and a steel beam had been installed, that's what these trucks are grinding into. Regarding my original video: I really wonder if these people ever took a moment to take a look at their invention and judge for themselves if this is A ) practical and B ) the most stupid looking thing that ever entered a movie set...

EH Marshall Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 If you hook a garage door to that thing you could close it in front of you when someone you didn't want to talk to walked up. That seems like the best use for it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
