Most of those didn't look like actual commercial rigs, the majority
seemed to be campers and rentals. I'll bet most of the drivers were used
to driving cars rather than tall trucks.

I blame the truck makers

Everybody in Durham knows about that bridge. It's been going on since
I was a little kid.
About once a week a truck driver from out of town will head down that
street. I don't think reading is the problem; it's not remembering
that your truck is 12' that get's 'em every time.
Or not paying attention ... because it does occasionally still catch a
local driver.
They used to have a pipe hanging on chains across the street for the
trucks to hit before they got to the bridge. But replacing it every
week got too expensive. Trucks kept ripping it down and smashing it
against the bridge.
They replaced it with those flashing lights which are high enough the
trucks don't normally hit them before they hit the bridge.

Don't lose heart, they might want to cut it out, and they'll want to avoid a
