Rant: low hanging trees on city streets

Op here. After seeing responses (either pro or con) I thought I'd try to find out if the city has any rules, surely I'm not the first one to do this. And being a retired truck driver myself I wish you people would Please share with me how you go about driving down a street and knowing whether you have 12 foot clearance or 11 foot 11 inch clearance.

-After reading their rule, I do not think I was at fault.
-The city should enforce their own rules they passed.
