How many crashes need to happen before we even start to think about changing Storrow/Soldiers Field? @universalhub
. @gradontripp @universalhub Maybe if dumbasses didn't ignore the multiple signs saying "cars only" and noting the height clearance...- . @gradontripp @universalhub Let's just bury the entire roadway and make a park above it. That worked once before...
RT @GrooPunk: @gradontripp @MattSoleyn @universalhub Maybe we should bubble wrap all sharp & semi-sharp edges of everything too.
I really do not understand how this happens, signs everywhere“@universalhub: 32 passengers injured, 3 critically. Soldiers Field Rd.”
@gradontripp @universalhub I drive an overheight truck. Any driver of such vehicles knows it is part of job to watch for low bridges
@kethera @universalhub Need more cowbell http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2007/09/15/truckers_may_see_cowbells_make_a_comeback_in_mass/?page=full …m/news/local/articles/2007/09/15/truckers_may_see_cowbells_make_a_comeback_in_mass/?page=full
@onlyanumber @universalhub Exactly. The “Cars Only” signs will hit an oversize vehicle. Maybe they need another set that says “We Mean It!”
@universalhub @ChristopheSG MA Gen Law c. 90, s. 24 (Negligent Operation of MV)- not less than 2 weeks up to 2 years jail, $20-$250 fine
@universalhub I don't think native Bostonians understand how bizarre the low bridges on Storrow/Soldiers Field are to non-natives.
@universalhub @kethera The ped overpass on Mem Drive got new ones last year and they are already busted (flashing all the time).
@caulkthewagon @universalhub Low bridges might be more common here, but the signs saying how tall they are are the same elsewhere.- @universalhub People keep saying to me, "but there are signs!" Yeah, there are signs, but people ignore them. The signs aren't a solution.
@caulkthewagon lots of things are bizarre about Boston- but bizarre or not, the signs are RIGHT THERE. @universalhub
@caulkthewagon @universalhub I'm not a native, but I am literate. There is no excuse for ignoring the signs
@universalhub Maybe now those ancient defunct neon "Warning overheight vehicle" signs will actually be repaired/replaced?
@universalhub maybe “gates” is the wrong word, but I meant these things that hit your vehicle if it’s too tall: pic.twitter.com/47uPibP0om/47uPibP0
@universalhub @ChristopheSG let's have the city get the road removed from Sat Nav units. Then it will be a locals only road.
@gradontripp @universalhub I'd argue that we should close the highway and restore the public park along the riverfront as Storrow envisioned
@Othemts @universalhub And send all the cars... where?
@caulkthewagon @universalhub there are plenty of parkways w low bridges around NYC, Long Island and CT. Its not unique, these are old rds
@universalhub I once cleared the warning bar to get on storrow but had to get off because a bridge was 2 ft lower than bar. Need consistency
