There are three "height" types for a bridge over a navigable waterway: the
maximum distance from ground level to the highest part of the bridge structure,
the maximum height of vehicle plus cargo that can go across the bridge, and the
maximum clearance for vehicles passing under the bridge. The proposal mentions
the first two, but not the third. It does not, as far as I can tell, provide
for a way to specify where the reference point is located for the
height-above-ground figure, which is an issue since the ground level at one end
of a bridge is often different from the ground level at the other end. The
proposal states, correctly, that the maximum height of a vehicle is a property
of each of the ways passing across. Roads passing under the bridge need to be
tagged with max height. The tricky part is tagging the max height of ships
that may wish to pass under the bridge, as this will vary with the water level.
The current proposal doesn't seem to handle either aspect of the
ship-clearance questions.
