@sinabhfuil not really. It's the same problem. Drivers aren't paying attention. Some bridges have chains before them to let drivers know they'll hit the bridge. They still do it

@sinabhfuil Having lived near a couple of problematically low bridges, I think no matter how many signs and warnings and flashing lights you put up some people are just going to cruise right into it.

@TonyaCanning A large RSJ suspended from chains at the height of the bridge is the sort of advance warning needed.

@sinabhfuil
Maybe we should stop cars from being able to drive under the bridges then 👀

@Caoimhe Good thinking, Robin. All roads with railway bridges should be cycle paths instead of car roads

@sinabhfuil Maybe any driver who hits a bridge like this should lose their license immediately for x months. It seems like a very accurate test to attentiveness, reflexes, vision, etc.
