Nasty Tasha came across a truck that almost made it out of the tunnel in Belmont Center, but instead wound up nice and storrowed early this afternoon.

The only sign is on the bridge itself: https://goo.gl/maps/o8eVAsRsRQy
Plus it's unclear -- is 10'3" the clearance at the extreme right edge of the roadway? Are trucks taller than that supposed to use the underpass as long as they stay in the middle, under the peak of the arch?

It means DO NOT COME THROUGH IF YOUR VEHICLE IS TALLER.
How hard is that to get?

Oh boy, that intersection is a major clusterfuck on a good day, good thing this didn't happen in the morning/evening.
I saw a similar truck with NY plates on Fresh Pond Parkway, he fortunately turned off onto Huron.

I've gone through that intersection literally thousands of times and now come to think of it I've never noticed a clearance height sign on either side of the bridge.
Got to be alert for signs

I drive a boxtruck around the area all the time. As soon as I see a bridge, I start looking for a sign. In fact, just a week ago I was late for a job because of this bridge. You see the sign, you find another way,no matter how long it takes.
