I just read the signs that tell how low the clearance is. :W
We have relied on that for years, however, 3 years ago while traveling the Great White North, we came across a tunnel on our way back to the highway from gassing and other normal chores at Costco when we encountered a tunnel with a clearance sign in French with metric measurements.
I get it, when you're facing a tunnel, a sign with numbers is probably the clearance, but when your doing 35 mph in an only lane and you're not used to converting meters to feet and where inches are very important, accuracy is very important. Oh yeah, the ONLY clearance sign for that tunnel was above the keystone.
Just saying observing signs is not always a good method of determining safety.
Would you like to have a bunch of French Canadians yelling at you in French and honking their horns?, try stopping on a main arterial ramp to a tunnel in Quebec City in a motorhome with California plates.
