Hwy 24 at Monticello, In.
I'm looking at using Hwy 24 to get from I57 to US31 in Indiana. On that route, just east of Monticello, IN there is railroad trestle over the road. I can't tell the height from Google Maps/Earth, etc....

Generally it is better to follow signage rather than your GPS. The main problem with signs is that they often don't give you much time to react, especially if you are prepared to follow an outdated map. And if the signs are confusing, be prepared to follow the main traffic lanes. Last minute turns and lane changes produce accidents.
You're right, I think a lot of us have been caught by the GPS vs. signage situation; I know I have and more than once. I try to do trip planning to avoid these situations, but as they say 'the best laid plans....' In this case, based on the input from someone with local knowledge and how that flanges up with the mapping information I'm inclined to trust the GPS more. Still thinking about an alternate route so I can avoid dealing with the situation altogether though.
Tom, thanks for the additional info. I'll have to toss it all around & figure out a game plan. Fortunately, I've got a few weeks to do so.
