    [The signs] are placed along Hurricane Road at the last major intersection before arriving at the bridge crossing. Basically, there’s no way to miss them.

    The reporter overestimates most truck drivers’ situational awareness.

          Every time i see these vids im just sat there thinking “HOW DO YOU MISS ALL THE SIGNS???” its not even just normal signs, it has lights, led text, a big fat orange steel bar, standard high vis signs on both sides.

          Just makes it all the more entertaining.

            Wait until it happens to you. It almost did to me and I was entirely oblivious, so I can no longer blame them for being idiots.

            I was moving to a new city, but I had been there many times. One of the more useful roads was along the River, curving in and out, and under a bunch of low bridges: great fun to drive, plus I was really familiar with it. So, guess what route I naturally took with the moving van. Yup. Did I notice all the “Cars Only” signs? Nope, they had all faded into background noise. Did I notice all the height limits? Nope, not used to looking for those, plus I was busy trying to find my way around an unfamiliar area pre-GPS. I was saved by a buddy whose car I was following, who realized it and got off the road at the last minute. I still didn’t have a clue, but eventually matched up the height of the truck with the height of the bridges, and realized how close I had come to being on the News

        I was at a tire shop the other day and somebody gave them the keys and said “it’s a blue Honda Accord”

        The tech came back confused and eventually they realized it was a grayish (maybe a tinge of blue) Hyundai Accent.

        At least they got the first letters correct, I guess.
