(I have no idea what big penny means.)
“Fools bridge” from Saint-Petersburg saying hi!
It’s just below the height of the most popular small truck, Gazelle - despite the poster saying: “It’s low, Gazelle doesn’t fit” (in addition to a normal sign), drivers keep checking that.The bridge is on S Pennsylvania Ave in Lansing, MI, hence “Penny”. Construction has routed more people through there than normal lately increasing the bridge’s hunger.
If there’s one thing people that rent trucks or RVs never learn, it’s the height of their vehicle (and that yes the flashing overheight lights are in fact for you).
Source: Used to live near there.
That bridge needs more 11’8"
I read the site but couldn’t find why the sign says 12’4 if it’s really 11’8"?
Edit: Thanks for all the answers everyone. Now the 11’8"+8" makes so much more sense.
They actually raised it back in 2019.

It didn’t help much, obviously.
