Title: TX: Odd Bridge Clearance Device for 18 Ft Clearance Bridge in Frisco
Post by: Brian556 on January 31, 2015, 05:20:58 PM
This is on Legacy Dr in Frisco. Can't figure out why the hell they would have this for a bridge with an 18-FT clearance

That is odd.  I didn't know they had an RR underpass for Legacy in Frisco much less that kind of a warning for it.  I checked the other approach, it has one also.  The city must really be concerned about trucks that are too high to clear that underpass, although I don't think there are other warnings about clearance to this extent anywhere else around there.

Nothing is stranger than this low clearance marker on Business 71 in Columbus, Texas

With it's oddly personal message. I don't think I've ever seen "YOU" on a traffic control device.

There were several just like this in Kimball,TN. There was recently construction at the location where they were, and GSV shows that they are gone now.
