Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Thu Aug 21 08:07:47 2008, in response to Re: NJT 351 to be cut back to Secaucus Junction, posted by Hank Eisenstein on Tue Aug 19 13:26:07 2008. and I also stated that 13' is the POSTED height limit, but it may not be the REAL height limit, which is likely 4-6 inches more.Of course, there's a good reason for this. If the actual height is 13'4", and if the posted height were the same, someone with a vehicle 13'2" tall could expect to drive through. If the road were then resurfaced and the headroom reduced to (say) 13'1", you can guess who would be liable for your impromptu open-top bus. However, if the actual height is 13'4", but the posted height is 13'0", then the road can be resurfaced without worrying about getting sued. I'm not sure that explicitly allowing operations of slightly over-height vehicles on a day-to-day basis is a sensible idea. I hope there's some sort of waiver whereby the bus company takes responsibility for its buses roofs. |
