Rant: low hanging trees on city streets

To the OP, I feel your frustration as a week ago when entering an Oregon State Park, I knocked off our Jack Antenna do to a low limb. I will be seeking reimbursement from the State Parks as it was obvious even to the park manager and another of their staff that it was really low. The next day it was removed. Fortunate for us, the only damage was the antenna. There is no reason not to pursue the city.

Op here. I'm not going to pursue anything. It' s a rub mark on awning from a tree, but still if the clearance is not what it should be by the city own standards it makes me angry. It will cost more to pursue than what I'd get.
To the guy that brought up Pre-trip inspection HA HA when was the last time you saw a sign that said 13'6" and stopped and measured to confirm the measurement was actually right before going thru it? Once again here is there own law they made:
