The 11foot8+8 is a bridge in North Carolina that is infamous for damaging trucks that pass under without noticing the signs about the low height. It was raised from 11'8" another 8" in 2019, but it still catches some vehicles.

@RanaG Don't forget that after they raised the bridge, they also put in a detection system that flashes "OVERHEIGHT MUST TURN" and turns the light RED when an overheight vehicle is detected. So drivers must both ignore/miss the overheight signs AND RUN A RED LIGHT to be able to hit the bridge.
And they still do.
@Pykess I thought that sign was put up before it was heightened. I am in favor of the sign because it didn't seem to convince a single driver to avoid the bridge.
