Just like the simulations
They need this at the 11’8″ bridge.
“Ba-boom” ye be warned too tall trucks
Not sure if I’m more impressed by the “Klankers”, or that you managed to photograph no less than ten vehicles without revealing/blurring a single license plate.
It’s the “You’re about to can-opener your truck” balls.
The “TOO TALL, STOP OR BA-BOOM” is awesome lol
“or ba-boom”
i fuckin love that lol
Tee hee
Stop or Ba-boom? 🤣🤣🤣

For those thinking it’s AI, there’s a picture in the article that also has the “ba-boom” warning.

I have been low bridges in some areas that need these, as trucks, usually moving ones people rent, get stuck.
Chapel Street, Newark, Delaware
They should release green slime when struck.
We have a bar for a 10ft bridge restriction and trucks still get stuck on the bridge
Big badda boom!
Clankers?
You sure you didn’t mean to post this in /starwars
I want a sticker of exactly that sign
This street in Newark is an absolute shit show in the afternoon
Come on man, it’s 2026.
Casho Mill rd?
They need one of these on storrow drive in Boston. my whole life that bridge has been getting hit time after time and they haven’t ever addressed it.
If you google image search it it’s actually hilarious.

Is this is Delaware?
Because I’m almost certain this is in Delaware as I’ve driven through this before.
I live in a college town near an 8′ 7″ bridge right around the corner from a UHaul rental facility. That bridge ate so many trucks the railroad company threatened to close the underpass. The town put up clankers and the first night the college kids twisted all the balls around the top bar. Maintenance chained the balls together but a couple nights later the students still managed to wrap them up. Took a bit of thinking but the city came back and put rigid pipes around the vertical chains that hold the balls. So far, the balls are undefeated!
Ba-boom is hilarious
