I forget where I saw them, but on a highway somewhere, they had mercury tubes or something similar above the highway before low crossings, and trucks were instructed to drive under the tubes to determine they would also safely pass the low overpass.

Likewise, I remember overhead barriers on select entrances to the Belt Parkway -- exit 4 (18 Av) rings a bell I think -- I'm not sure if they're still there, or if they were only there to be lowered if they wanted to close the parkway.

Trying to bring this thread more on topic, I've seen buses, including MCIs, use the Belt (as well as the GCP) -- it doesn't seem to be an issue. But there are sections of the Belt they couldn't use even with permission I think such as Exit 9 (Sheepshead Bay) through Exit 11 (Flatbush) because of weight restrictions which is why I suppose even my fantasy express bus route: Rockaway - Marine Pkwy Bridge - non-stop via driver selection of routing, such as the Belt Pkwy, to Lower Manhattan, may not be such a good idea.

Correction -- exit 4 is 14 Av, not 18 Av.

That explains why the BM3 has to use a long deadhead on city streets.

Unfortunately, the same idiots who can't or won't read the conventional signs that give the clearance warnings probably can't or won't read this sign either...

I'm pretty sure WMATA B/Os can carry their personal cellphones, but there's zero-tolernace policy for using them while driving. I've seen plenty of them on their phones outside of the bus while on a layover/recovery.

I think you meant to respond to another thread, and I know the post to which you're responding.
