Crashes Happen: But Height Limits Are the Real Problem Here A recent video showing a tractor trailer hitting an overpass in Rockland County, New York, highlights the ongoing issue of vehicles scraping against bridges and overpasses.
This problem persists because height limits on these structures are often set arbitrarily at 13 feet 6 inches or less.
The current height limit was established in the 1950s, when trucking regulations were first being written. Since then, technology has advanced significantly, yet our infrastructure hasn't kept pace.
