    :biggrin_25521:If the trl had low profile tire's and he dump the air bags and wondering why the trainer didnt think of this ,then i think he could've shimmy thru but scraping the top still , mayby not,but neverless, he should;ve stop and eyeball it out first , all part of your trip planning:biggrin_25524: Everett.

    I wonder which award he won? :)

    Common sense should rule here but the bridge is clearly not marked properly according to the MUTCD.
    Any low clearances with changing heights should be clearly marked with multiple signs. In other words a second sign should be on the low side of the arch. You see many PA bridges like this.
