Bridges

... and, of course, in Israel:




How much for a Fassi or a Palfinger crane :

You can't always trust the signs on bridges. A few years ago I worked for tourist coach operator in Sydney. We had a number of those high level coaches with the a/c condensor on the roof. The official height was (from memory) 4.00 metres.

One day I got a radio call from one of our droll humoured drivers that he "was having problems with the air conditioner". As to what was the problem? - it is sitting on the ground about 50 metres behind the bus !!.

A 4.1 m bridge had taken it off. Turned out the road had recently been resurfaced and nobody had bothered to recheck the clearance. :-[ :-[

Well T, the Fassi would be the cheaper option...........

^^

"cheap" is of course relative...

Now there are those who don't need a bridge to get into trouble:

171228Th Metro Twitter - Montague St road under tramline.
I don't know if this was that day, or if it had been dredged from the past.
Another one bites the dust: .

The sign said "clearance to the 12ft line' but them chickens were stacked to 13 9.

It happened back then

Dudley St Melbourne??

Distinctively Queensland bridge design.

Yep, signs and a camera to warn you. It's a pity that the roads have never been updated to suit modern times. :blink:
