2021 was a peak year for storrowing. Drivers were back on the roads and once more ignoring the "CARS ONLY" signs bouncing off the cabs of their trucks. It was a great year to capture the screeeeeeech of metal being peeled back and, for the lucky few, like Matthew Christensen, to witness the truly sublime: A truck peeled back and tilted precariously on its side after its driver tried the Kenmore exits.

...for people interested in the physics of such things.
I'd love to rig up something to auto-capture such a video on Storrow, but it would be expensive and tricky. Maybe ultrasound to detect an overheight-truck approaching and turn on the high-speed camera, then a noise burst sensor + a timer to end the capture period? But it would have to sit out in all weather and be at risk of theft.
