1) In many jurisdictions the ultimate permit and authority come from a state sponsored map of restrictions. For example http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/permits/stars.htm (warning: requires crufty Microsoft software). 2) Consider that many bridges cross at an angle, meaning there's more

In Belgium the maximum height for a vehicle is 4m (on all roads, whether there is a bridge or not). So without sign a bridge should allow vehicles under the maximum height to pass. There are exceptions, which requires a special permit (pubic transport). Then the maximum height is 4.4m meters. I
