On June 21, a moving truck comes cruising down Gregson St. and trips the overheight sensor, runs the red light and strikes the bottom of the canopener bridge...
FWIW the red light is the “hey you’re too tall” signal and changes pretty quickly. Almost feels like it shouldn’t even have a yellow light, just dump straight to red and hope the truck slams on its brakes.

I believe when it senses a over-height vehicle it turns the light red so that they have to stop and see the flashing lights
Oh wow I’ve known about this bridge for awhile now and I never knew they have an automatic light like that. Man, they really tried everything lol
The website FAQ goes into detail about what they already tried and why it doesn’t really make sense to do even more

They really have thought of and tried everything that they can wow.
It’s just a bad spot to have a low bridge.
