Just a reminder to know the height of your rig

Like one post already said, repaving changes the clearance but not the sign. SOP is to lay 2 inches asphalt each time a road is repaved, and the 3rd time, all the asphalt has to be grinded off before repaving. So the clearance can be 2-6 inches off, unless your going to put all your faith in DOT and contractors to follow SOPs and change signs each time.

I checked on a few of the low clearances we crossed this summer and it looked like they had ground the road bed down to acomadate the new asphalt. On US 36 near Tuscola IL just west of town there are 2 low clearances one was 13'6" and the other 13'9". The shorter one I came to a complete stop before inching my way, it didn't scrape but I didn't get out and look to see how close it was
