Trust me, I'm an engineer: there's a designed in safety factor and you can actually do way more pages than they tell you in the manual. It'll be fine, it's designed for it.

Iirc back around 2013 or 12 or so there were bad problems with the site’s back end and the tldr was that threads over 1k pages could lead to bad poo poo. That got fixed in I want to say something like 2015.

Don’t quote me on the dates but that’s ballpark right.

Those first two shots look very staged - in a real action shot with a 1920's camera you'd expect blurriness, like in the third one.

e: I only now noticed that in the two staged photos the cars are in the same position, so yeah, they got stuck and took some pics

a similar outcome a decade ago in Finland, but a trash truck. It's not evident from the photos but there is a boom that was up. Also a school route.





They should have lowered the road but just rebuilt the bridge instead.

Yep, and just behind the camera is a school. Thankfully school hasn't started yet from summer and there was nobody on it. He did take out some fiber optic cables as well so a few thousand people are offline, so the driver is obviously at serious risk of lynching.

Hey, you think trucks can go here?

No, trucks don't go down roads. Trucks are on freeways.

Oh right, okay so we don't have to build this higher?

Nope, a truck will not drive on a road. They even sleep on freeways and they die there as well. They don't drive down roads.

What if trucks that need a lot of clearance had like, a big antenna style flexible rod on part of the bumper that would smack against objects that it can't fit under as a way to warn drivers that they're going to have a bad time? Obviously it won't stop people from leaving their cranes up while driving and that sort of poo poo, but surely the thwack would provide some way of checking, right?

That bridge is probably tall enough that all normal trucks will fit through without trouble.*

I bet that concrete truck has some alarm to say the boom is up and that the lovely company has disabled it.

My high school best friend’s dad did that thing where you hang a tennis ball from the garage ceiling so that when it bumps the windshield you know you’re out of room to pull forward.

Didn’t stop him from leaving an impression of his fender in the wall.

that would require the driver to slow down and check the bridge against the plastic rod at a walking pace rather than just barreling through, and if the driver is conscientious enough to do that, he probably doesn't need the rod.

Alarm nothing, the truck should not be capable of driving unless the boom is in stowed position
