Hey, she totally missed the threefer in the other direction
Three pairs of cars stopped going west bound near the Bowker overpass with front and rear bumpers suffering from some rough kissing.

edited. thanks! (either way, all this nonsense is coming out of someone's budget and at some point, someone really has to be like, enough is enough!)
Let's give these truck
Let's give these truck drivers some credit... they actually stopped BEFORE hitting the bridge. There are plenty of drivers who don't stop before hitting pedestrians.
And why do they manage to stop before hitting the bridge?
Because the bridge has its clearance properly posted on it. Now, if we properly posted the clearances and vehicle restrictions on the advance signing BEFORE drivers can turn onto the entrance ramps onto Storrow Drive, we might greatly reduce these sorts of incidents.

Can you post a stock page showing pictures of all the LOW BRIDGE CARS ONLY signs and overhead warning hang-down thingies which are posted at EVERY CONCEIVABLE ENTRANCE to Storrow so that when some posts this "the State needs better signs" nonsense we can point out that maybe truck drivers need better reading comprehension … (I would, but I'm on a slow connection right now.)

Really. You deserve it for getting that one in there so slickly.

Need to examine what routes trucks CAN use to access areas around Kenmore, etc. I pity the out-of-town trucker with a delivery and no clue how to get there.
