Looks like its been hit a few times. ..... The sign that is.

 

 

Somebody with photoshop skill HAS to PS an S2K into that pic!!!

 

Woops title suppose to read: Ingenious way to end brige collisions.

 

I'll change it

 

We used to have a conversion van with a fiberglass top at work. It was used to ferry execs and other folks between two of our sites. One morning, the driver picked up the van in the bottom of the garage. Instead of exiting the garage on the ground floor, this person decided it would be a good idea to drive out the exit on the 2nd level. No problems at first until they approached the the top of the ramp. What this person failed to realize is that as the ramp went up, the clearance narrowed. Ooopps. Tore that top right off. We dont have a van at work any more.

 

my favorite is an exit off I-95 near my house where there are 3 signs warning of the height of the bridge (really an overpass)

but the best is the third sign, which is bolted on a big dent from a previous collision, yet this sign is all mangled, meaning after posting the 3 signs, someone still hit it...

fools I tell you, damn fools.

 

Haha. At Cal Poly, SLO, there's a train overpass that's relatively short. About 100 yards in front of it, there is a sign warning of the clearance and a wire with chains hanging down that are the same height as the overpass (so they drag over anything that's too tall). Even with it making a bunch of noise, the cab of a semi just barely hit the bottom of the overpass, and got stuck in the middle of it. I guess he wasn't paying attention to it...

Extra credit: How do you get a stuck semi out from underneath a low overpass? Bueller? The answer is let some air out of the tires.

 

Uhh, that's bridge. Thread title changed...again
