iospace posted:12'4" will spare a lot of rental box trucks, but a lot of full sized box trucks are 12'6", so we'll probably get a hit from time to time. Don't they underestimate the height a few inches? Is it possible a 12'6" will squeeze barely under it?

FCKGW posted:No, because if you did but didn't publish how off from the actual height you are people would make up their own guesses and keep slamming into poo poo anyways. I assumed they would give a number slightly lower than the minimum clearance to account for things like when a train is going over the bridge, or when temperatures change, etc.

Fat Loser posted:Maybe the 12' 6" clearance is for when a train is on it and the unencumbered clearance is 12' 6.125" without a train on it. The bridge isn't really long enough for lots of flexing like a river-crossing bridge would be. Just wanted to drag this up and say that I was right. The new actual height is 12'8": https://www.reddit.com/r/11foot8/comments/drlj9w/the_new_actual_clearance_of_the_canopener_bridge/

There was a very dangerous intersection near where I live. I witnessed numerous close misses, until finally there was an accident where a young girl got t-boned because she misjudged the speed of an oncoming car. This was the Xth accident in Y-years which could have been prevented by a stoplight, so they finally installed. Just  if you think America is going to be proactive about self-driving cars. The code and laws which keeps us safe in the future will be written in blood today.

Moto42 posted:There's such a huge problem with cops in the states being de-facto immune to One near me was responding to a call for assistance (non-emergency) at around 90mph in a 45 zone. He nailed a girl taking a left and killed her. He was charged and convicted of manslaughter because he didn't have his lights or siren on while driving so fast. I'd like to say that sometimes the right thing happens in the end, but it would have been better if that douche had just driven there like a normal person instead of playing Batmobile.
