I know of one access road here in Nashville, Tennessee, USA that has signs saying "no trucks", because of the abrupt transition from a downward slope to level pavement. A smaller vehicle can make the transition, but a tractor-trailer rig (an HGV, in British terms) is at risk of having the top back of the tractor crushed against the top front of the trailer. The ASCII-art version would be something like __/. Since OSM mapping normally doesn't include contours, this wouldn't be obvious on a map. -- John F.
