That's very interesting. Most places would just sign the whole thing as the minimum clearance (in this case 13' 8").

The closest thing to this I can think of right now is along the PA Tpk where the original overpasses still exists.

Well, this is interesting.  Canadian crossing design, but with a mostly-US spec ENS sign, except there's no crossing number and it's bilingual.

On Atlantic Ave east of NJ 34 in Matawan (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219946740059368&set=a.10219946769140095)



What this sign says is extremely dickish. Mandatory court date for ALL moving violations? Total BS. As if the court system in NJ has the time and resources for BS like this.

You think that's bad, you should see what they want you to do in the Walmart Enforcement Area.

CN's started installing those on their Canadian crossings recently. It's essentially the ENS sign they use for their crossings here in the US, but adapted for use in Canada.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

The bridge being referred to here is I-83 actually where Derry St passes underneath it.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219968516843774&set=a.10219841211181212)



There are a few of these signs around the Wawa on PA 100 at Schantz Rd.  (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219947199230847&set=a.10219947253192196)



By the Sheetz on PA 863 just north of I-78/US 22 (https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10219947209711109&set=a.10219947253192196)

Should be a TO US 264 shield only. Or better yet use a double headed arrow on the WB shield being NB I-795 connects to WB US 264 as well

If it's a NY Parkway many bridges lack adequate headroom for tall vehicles hence the Passenger car only rule.

So does that mean that the police are watching the lot, or that this also means the police can't park there after hours? /s

This sign is very odd. US 77 ends at I-29. It don't join it. Plus NB I-29 departs from the left.
