What I always wonder about when seeing things like this (and Davenport IA had a truck eating bridge) is why doesn't either the city or the bridge owners (railroad) do something to permanently raise the bridge or lower the road. Yes, it's the driver's responsibility to avoid, but how much damage, over the long run, does each of those hits do to the bridge structure?
Yeah I was wondering the same thing, at least they should add rumble strips. Lowering the roadway seems like the best solution.
Simple answer MONEY!!
Take a close look at the videos, looks like at least four roads inter sect there and to make a standard 13' 6" would require dropping the road surface at least 2'. So road surface, drainage and other utility.
In the town I grew up in we had an RR under pass on a side street seemed like it was about 7' or so VERY low.
