this bridge in my hometown is notorious, either someone gets stuck under the bridge or mows down one of the posts on a semi-regular basis

Funny story about that bridge...

My SO's aunt lived about just up the hill from this picture. She was moving to Montgomery and I borrowed my dad's truck and gooseneck trailer to help her move.

Going through Loveland, I decided to go on Broadway (this street) instead of across the bike path by the park in order to avoid pedestrians with a load behind me. A cop saw me coming through the intersection and pulled me over just before the underpass to tell me I wouldn't clear. Ended up backing into that parking lot and going back to second and then Loveland Ave.

I had never had a close call with clearance (because it really isn't tall), but now I'm paranoid when I drive anything taller than my Subaru through there.

Jesus. I just looked this place up out of curiosity. That setup is insane.

It's worse than it looks. Broadway and Second are both steep hills.
