I remember seeing this bridge or another like it om 60 minutes. I worked in a building that had a second story above a road way. They placed hanging chains before you could enter it to rake the top of the vehicle as it passed. We still had a coke truck ignore the warning and hit it.
We with the gee wizz electronic stuff today you would think the could rig a height device wired to a stop light that would detect a over height vehicle and trigger the stop light before the bridge. Would not turn green until you backed up and turned around.
Interesting idea. But unless it somehow singled out the oversized vehicle, I can see them sitting and getting infuriated because the light won't change and then just running the red light to end up hitting the bridge anyway.
