It would be interesting to know how the safety records of the truck drivers who get &quot;can opened&quot; compare with the average truck driver. Is this bridge an efficient &quot;idiot detector&quot;, which might be used to help weed out the worst ~1% of truck drivers? A truck hitting it looks pretty cheap &amp; safe, compared to a highway-speed crash...<p>Similar Situation: There is a 10&#x27;6&quot; railroad overpass on a minor side-street in downtown Ann Arbor, MI. Sadly, no webcam that I know of. But it is, on foot, less than 750&#x27; from the local newspaper&#x27;s new office location...
