The 11 foot 8 bridge [Update: Now 12'4" and open again]

I swear, if anyone asks why they don't raise the bridge or lower the street, I will smack you with a banana.
Why don't they just replace the bridge with a set of ramps so the trains can do sick jumps?

Imagine getting skimmed with your date in the passenger seat
The overheight sensor they trip halfway down the block causes the light to turn red, so any trucks that hit the bridge at speed have to run the light at this point.
I've been watching these videos for a few years, but one thing I genuinely don't get. Why do so many people run the red light at this intersection? So many people (even cars too, not just trucks) behave here like the red light is only a suggestion, but not actually mandatory. What gives?
My best guess is, it's because of the abruptness of the switch like when an emergency vehicle changes them. They aren't expecting it and the "fuck it gun it" decision takes a couple more seconds to happen.
How long it was green before the sensor was tripped would be interesting data.

When the sensors detect a truck that's too tall coming, it immediately turns the light to red and turns on the "overhead must turn" light.
I'd be saying, "shiiiiiiiit!" while it was grinding against the hood of that truck. That hurt to watch.
Genuine qustion, but is there really no other portion of the track that they can build under or just create a new path for trucks? Lol
Just build two Stargates on both sides of the underpass and connect the two to each other. Seems like the simplest solution, honestly.
They will be too near to work. They should kust put a cable connected to the power wires and a flux condenser and send the vehicles to a time when the bridge wasn't yet constructed.
Just put the same setup on the past to send them back to the other side. Oh and a mandatory 88mph sign. They can keep the red light, everyone just ignores it either way.
Why don't they lower the bridge or raise the street? It'll make for more fun videos.
There is a level crossing like a block away. Thats why they are so limited in how much they raise the tracks, and thus the bridge.
Merlins phase shifting device could work too.
Or just some speed arrows and a jump pad.

weird, I activated the notification bell for this channel, but I didn't get one. The video has been up for an hour. Is there a delay for the notification?
