    Parkways are bad for trailers, the tractor made it through just fine.

    Walmart only wants drivers with three years driven. I am guessing they arent doing a background check on that

    Well, the sign is to the right of the merging traffic lane so if the truck were in the far left the driver may have missed it. One would think that a height warning sign would have been place prior to the last real exit. It does look like a dirt maintenance road would be available to bail, but it is unmarked otherwise.
    These images are 18 months old. They article did not indicate direction, but from the south we have.....

    But the bridge before that is even lower...so I wonder if northbound the truck came on from the lane in the first picture. (this is a real PITA because my internet at the end of the world is the slowest DSL that they dare bill...)

    all this research gone to waste, went to the on ramp from Stewart Avenue and found this, "No Commercial Vehicles":



    I am guessing (without spending an hour or so) that all the other on ramps have similar signs
