    Why do height signs show anything other than actual height!?
    Is this to account for snow accumulation?
    Man it really messes with me around Dunkirk, NY...

    Height signs in NY are like turn signals in NY: they have nothing to do with anything 99% of the time.

    I'm sure it's no different in Chicago or any other big city.

    The 1% is what you see blink once before they slice 4 lanes and take a 90* turn at speed lol

    Snow accumulation is the story I always got and the bridge is measured from its lowest point ...like a drain pipe hanging over a sidewalk .
