[The signs] are placed along Hurricane Road at the last major intersection before arriving at the bridge crossing. Basically, there’s no way to miss them.

The reporter overestimates most truck drivers' situational awareness.

Most people are just oblivious. It’s not that they didn’t see the signs most of the time. It’s that they don’t know the height/weight of their vehicle and just assuming, eh it’ll be fine. I’m shocked how many people can’t tell me what year their car is…some can’t even tell me the model. It’s a Toyota something…it’s blue.

I was at a tire shop the other day and somebody gave them the keys and said "it's a blue Honda Accord"

The tech came back confused and eventually they realized it was a grayish (maybe a tinge of blue) Hyundai Accent.

At least they got the first letters correct, I guess.

My car's initials as H.A. and the colour is between #00f and #eef.
