Truck driver on Storrow puts on a clinic

Digging up the road is extreme, but I think everyone here agrees that signage could be improved. And (almost) everyone here agrees that it should be improved.

Even if the current signs satisfy some documented DOT roadway standard, they're obviously insufficient when you consider the frequency of Storrowings. If it happens once or twice a year, okay, but once or twice a month is way too much.

Storrow Drive has never been for trucks - there are signs and everything. That's like saying the city should widen the sidewalks to make it easier for the cars that keep trying to drive on them instead of dealing with the car drivers who keep driving on sidewalks. U-haul drivers can be forgiven for being stupid as they drive those trucks at most once a year, if at all. Professional drivers drive their trucks all the time and should be aware of how tall their truck is as well as height restrictions on their routes - it's actually a requirement of them keeping their specialized licenses. Maybe truck drivers should be taught how to read signs....

CLOSE the damn road already. It shouldn't have been built in the first place.

Dig the underpasses deeper

Ah, okay. Dig the underpasses deeper in an area that used to be an estuary.

Wow. You are so smart. /s

I notice there's a huge curtain of heavy chains at the ramps leading into The Big Dig -- must make hella noise, alerting even dumb drivers.

I gotta belive here in the 21st century there'd be an easy way to do a sensor at a certain height, that sets off flashing lights and maybe sirens when a too-tall vehicle tries to enter. And also immediately alerts the cops.

That, I think, would be a first step, long before re-engineering what is supposed to be a parkway.

Why not just tear down the bridges?

There's nothing wrong with the road... just you. Storrow is a parkway which means cars only and NO trucks.
