Why are weight limits signed with regulatory signs while height limits are warning signs?

Whereas in the Vienna Convention, both are typically a prohibition sign:

Because we're not Commies.
I mean, if 11'8" has taught us anything, it's that an overheight vehicle can make it through the height restriction, though not in one piece. :bigass:
I would guess it has to do with the fact that you can control your vehicle weight (remove some load if it's overweight) but you generally can't do anything about your vehicle height. So the height limit can't be taken as anything more than informational.

Reminds me of the time in my railroading days that I found a trucker who just chopped the tops off of three huge John Deere tractors...

The definition of oddly satisfying.
11'8" is less fun now that it's 11'8"+8"
