is there some reason they can't hang a bar or some chains off a light pole or a dedicated span, like in every parking garage i've ever seen.

that's what that yellow bar is for tbh - it's a visual warning and also shears off the top of whatever the dumb fucks are driving, so it doesn't damage the bridge itself

the main problem with other warning systems is that the intersection there is so close to the bridge that it's probably pretty hard to warn drivers turning in.

oh yeah also re 11'8" bridge chat -- australia has one of those and they had to install these awesome water curtain projection systems

apparently people still drive through it

i'm glad i dont have to use the cross city tunnel, or lane cove, because those two skip the sydney CBD, which has loving terrible traffic, so truckies sometimes just plow right on through, especially if they've come from outside the city and are exhausted

going wall-eyed is so much harder than cross-eyed, why do people keep making divergent stereograms

i find the divergent ones easier to do than the cross-eyed ones because focusing past stuff is just what i do automatically when i'm tired and relaxing my eyes. going cross-eyed takes a bit of effort for me

the way the cross-eyed ones pop out of the page versus sinking into it is definitely cooler though

northbound blackwall tunnel in london has warning signs starting at loving dover, 70 miles away, progressively larger and more strident signs the entire length of the A2, and bars and chains starting 3 miles away, then an automatic system that flashes lights and tries to divert overheight vehicles off to a safe alternative route, and eventually an automated gate just before the point of no return. That gate catches at least one lorry a day, and at least once a month one manages to barrel through before it closes and get stuck inside.

Yesterday I found out that something I had described to a few people now has a name: aphantasia (http://www.bbc.com/news/health-34039054).

Basically I cant visualize anything graphically when I close my eyes (or with open eyes). Take a beach for example, if I tell you to image a carribean beach, you'll probably see a picture pop up in your head with white sand beaches, turquoise water, some palm trees, big bootied ladies chilling under the scorching sun, you get the idea. I dont.

I know what it looks like, but I dont see it in my head. I see the idea of the beach. I can't really explain it better, read the article.
