Posted by Andrew Saucci on Mon Aug 19 23:07:23 2019, in response to More Warning Signs & Alarms Are Needed to Prevent Trucks From Slamming Into Low Train Overpasses, posted by heypaul on Mon Aug 19 19:57:48 2019. As part of the LIRR third track project, those low overpasses which need widening or replacement are also being raised to a 14' clearance, so the idea of replacing them is not out of the realm of possibility if the money can be found to do it. Warning signs aren't a cure-all. I recall a low underpass on Electronics Parkway near Syracuse, NY (formerly NY 57) that had a ton of warning signs and trucks still hit it regularly. Truck drivers, especially those used to the interstates that are built for trucks, simply cannot believe that an overpass would not be high enough for them until they prove it to themselves. |
