FAQ
What is the location of the 11foot8 bridge?
201 Gregson St in Durham, NC (intersection with Peabody St)
Why is the bridge so low?
This train trestle is about 100 years old. At the time when it was built, there were no standards for minimum clearance.
How often do trucks crash into the bridge?
On average, about once a month a truck gets visibly damaged at the bridge. However, every day I see trucks that trip the overheight warning lights, stop and turn into the side street.
Why don’t they fix it?
Depends on who “they” are and on what “fix” means. The North Carolina Railroad Company owns the train trestle, and their concern is primarily with keeping the trains running and keeping them running safely. So their concern is mainly with reducing the impact of the truck crashes on the actual structure of the train trestle. As far as they are concerned, they solved that problem by installing the crash beam.
The city of Durham has installed “low clearance” signs on each of the 3 blocks leading up to the trestle (Gregson is a one-way road). There is an “overheight when flashing” sign with flashing lights that are triggered by vehicles that are too tall. Several blocks ahead of the trestle the speed limit is 25 MPH. The folks from the city planning department said that they made an effort to prevent accidents.
The North Carolina Dept. of Transportation maintains the road, but not the signage. I suspect they have much bigger problems to deal with statewide than this bridge.
Is the clearance signage accurate?
The clearance signage displays a maximum safe clearance - and yes, in that sense it is accurate. The actual clearance of the crash beam right in front of the trestle is 11 feet 10.8 inches, which gives it a 2.8 inch safety margin. The MUTCD allows for a maximum of 3 inches difference between the signage and the actual clearance.
Metric, please!
Would this situation be better if the signage were metric? Well … take a look at his website: 2m40.com (Warning: French. Metric)
For the convenience of our metric-only audience, here are the measurements we’re talking about in meters:
11foot8 (11 feet 8 inches) = 3.556 meters
11 feet 10.8 inches = 3.627 meters
Safety margin: 7.1 cm (at the crest of the road)
Can’t the road be lowered?
That would be prohibitively expensive because a sewer main runs just a few feet below the road bed. That sewer main also dates back about a hundred years and, again, at the time there were no real standards for minimum clearance for railroad underpasses.
Can’t the bridge be raised?
Here, too, the question is who would want to pay the millions of dollars to raise the tracks a couple of feet? To accomplish this, the grade of the tracks would have to changed on both sides of the trestle, probably for several miles. That would require rebuilding all trestles in Durham. And NS would have to shut down this busy track for months. I don’t think they are interested in that idea.
Is the signeage inadequate?
The signeage is pretty good. Large signs alert driver to the low clearance several blocks before the bridge. Overheight vehicles trip a light switch that turns on flashing warning lights.right at the bridge.
Should there be more signeage?
It’s hard to see how more “low-clearance” signs will significantly improve the situation. But maybe a different kind of signeage would get the driver’s attention.
Could they install a low-clearance bar?
A low clearance bar is a bar suspended by chains ahead of the bridge. Overheight vehicles hit that bar first and the noise alerts the driver to to the problem. I understand that this approach has been successful in other places, but it’s not practical here. There are many overheight trucks that have to be able to drive right up to the bridge and turn onto Peabody St. in order to deliver supplies to several restaurants. Making Peabody St inaccessible from Gregson St would make the restaurant owners and the delivery drivers very unhappy.
Why are they using yellow flashing lights?
Warning lights have to be yellow according to the NC traffic laws.
Are the drivers stupid?
No idea. They certainly seem distracted and the rental truck drivers are also probably inexperienced.
Will insurance cover the damages?
Most truck rental insurance policies specifically exclude overhead damage from coverage. However, a good auto insurance or liability insurance might pick up the tab. Check with your agent. Or even better - don’t hit the bridge!

If you like this bridge you'll love his evil little brother ruclips.net/video/V3-UugI0JoA/видео.html
all of the signs around that bridge and the drivers still don't read them
Willem Hebbe is this Pittsburgh by chance? the area looks familiar.
no its in NC I believe.

*WHY are trucks allowed to drive under this bridge???*
There should be a sign like *NO TRUCKS."
That bridge must've caused billions in loss and'll continue to be a expansive problem in all future.
Talk about job security, the guy who has to repaint that yellow warning bar is set for life.
SEE YAI AYE hahahahaha
SEE YAI AYE I want his job...
SEE YAI AYE i dont get it, why they dont remove it
Wunix Alisio if they remove the bar the bridge will be damaged every time this happens
Edgy McMememaster
but if they remove the bar some of those trucks wouldn't be damaged
The locals are like. "you bored?" "Ya..." "let's go to the bridge."
Should make a new drinking game out of that
You'd die of dehydration. There are about 2 crashes per 3 months. All crashes get documented on 11foot8.com and you can go back in history and watch every single recorded crash there on their archive page.
Kurtis Chambers It was a joke you imbecile.
hiccups dad As a local of that area, I hate it when that happens because it causes traffic!
Really eh?
The sheer confidence is what gets me. They see the warning light telling them to turn, but they ignore it anyway and drive at full speed towards certain doom
It's not confidence at all. It's a blatant lack of attention given while operating a motor vehicle. 90 percent of them were simply not paying any sort of attention. They should all be castrated!
A couple at about 2:00 gave it a slow college try instead of blind faith.
Most of these truck rivers are illiterate, going on little sleep, and usually under the influence of narcotics. It's why we need to have driverless trucks and get rid of these Neanderthals once and for all.
@@davidkrouse6904 Castrating them isn't going to make them pay attention. Not paying attention isn't some sort of essential character flaw that gets passed genetically either.
How do we explain your lack of critical thinking?

I wonder how many people called their boss to report what happened and their boss was like "The 11'8" bridge that I warned you about and told you to avoid?"
Yep, and I've already counted 7 events with trucks from this Penske company. I think it must be some marketing strategy.
@@infini667 It's rental trucks, like U-Haul, so probably not experienced drivers.
@@liquidsloww Penske is worse than U-Haul in my experience honestly, they crawl along the highway doing 60 something then race through towns like it's the Indy 500
Most accurate comment
@liquidsloww if that's the case, I wonder if the company purposely doesn't offer advice to stay clear of this bridge so that they can make the inexperienced drivers have to pay more for damages. Or maybe they do, but inexperienced drivers didn't follow the advice.
I can imagine all the locals everytime they see a truck approach the bridge "Wait for it!"
fuck you cameron star.fuck you deep.you brainless bunch of insects there...
There's a bridge like this a couple blocks down the street from where I live, and it's notorious for these incidents. My first time seeing it in action was just a couple months ago, though.

looks like a stationary manual can openner. it also works better than the trucks' brakes.
If I were rich, I would just rent a truck every 2 hours and drive it under this bridge to keep the channel going.
And before you say it, I do not believe I would be stopped from renting trucks because I would be making lots of insurance companies a lot of money.
But you would be downing their whole fleet which is the heart of their business. You'd be lucky to get to the second truck.
Lmfao that's really what you would do if you were rich?! Not travel the world or buy a nice mansion or buy nice cars or give some of it to charity like most rich people do? You would just waste your time, money, and life away doing that? Unbelievable! Also, why don't you think about other commuters and the fact that they might be trying to get to their destinations in a timely manner. All you'd be doing is holding up traffic and wasting other people's time as well.
Cody Gwin
It would be one thing I would do if I were rich, yes. It would juice the insurance companies, overhaul transportation standards and force the city council to do something about the bridge. Then everyone gets to their destination from now on. Including truck drivers.
But make no mistake - I would do it for the lols. Nothing else. Life isn't about improvement. It's about clocking as many moments of happiness for myself as a I can.
Yeah, happiness for you but dread for everyone else you're holding up in traffic. Only caring about yourself. I hope you also have fun being sued a million times a year by people you made late for work and whatnot.
You know I’d love to hear about the perspective of the cops each time they get another call on the same damn bridge
I imagine it goes from funny to frustrating and eventually, all the way back to funny
The police dispatchers probably use a special 10-code or verbal shorthand for “the bridge got another one”. Something like “squad 5, respond to a 10-13 at the bridge”.
@@zyglo9826 If the code isn't 11-8, I will be very disappointed.
@@zyglo9826we got a 11-8 😂
@@suicune2001right😂😂😂
It's like a voice goes off on these drivers heads to make them want to drive under that bridge, especially the last one. Like a true longing and a desire felt deep within the drivers souls, tugging them to just drive underneath that bridge. Truly fascinating.
Brain: Do it
Driver: Why?
Brain: You gotta
Truck: 🥫🔪
Like that last one who turned around just to get fucked by the bridge
No, they probably don’t know what else to do. Probably ended missing a turn that led them to this road or had bad directions and when they get to the bridge they panic and just keep going even though the probably know they shouldn’t. Best thing to do in this situation is to STOP. Then figure out what to do next.
That last one was in pure panic mode, after he not only drove wrong direction into a one-way but also slowly reversing out, to then completely block the (wrong side of the) road, with people watching as well as enduring the pressure of traffic lights commanding the rhythm and as a result him not having a single clue where to drive next.
I felt that; nevertheless, I belly-laughed! 😅

C Hartnett Hahaha
C Hartnett why not just build your own bridge around all these perks!
C Hartnett i was thinking the same thing
+Zachary Thomas: Did you really have to post the same thing three times?
It's not so easy to repair large van bodies. Usually, the repairs are done by the van body manufacturer. Every company uses a different construction and the insulated ones take special machines to produce.
There is one nearly universal aspect to the majority of these incidents. Of the 89 incidents shown, five of the vehicles are Tractor-Trailers, one appears to be a city bus, five are Recreational Vehicles and the lion's share of 78 vehicles are box trucks (26 of which are rental or lease trucks from Enterprise, Penske, etc.) which are probably registered as being below 26,000 lbs. The first two categories require the operator to have a Commercial Driver License (CDL), which requires training and testing in order to qualify for such licenses.
Nearly twenty years ago the US Department of Transportation revised the regulations pertaining to who must have a CDL to drive commercial vehicles, eliminating that requirement for vehicles below 26,000 lbs. Anyone with a plain vanilla driver license, with no training or experience whatsoever, may legally drive one of these potential killer trucks. Such drivers are used to assessing clearance for their vehicle's front, back and sides, but have never had to think about whether their car can actually fit under that overpass, never mind a high-clearance vehicle, so they're simply not LOOKING for height restrictions.
I have held a Class A (Tractor-Trailer) license for over thirty years. The only time I ever nicked the corner of a truck was when the marked clearance was more than the actual clearance due to re-paving the street and not changing the sign. Fortunately, I did not skin the whole top off but just nicked about a foot off the right edge of the roof.
obsessed with the "Ohhhhh! I told you!" at 6:07 as if someone standing near the camera on the intersection saw the truck coming and told her friend it would crash and shes getting her vindication
"Hello, barber! A little off the top, please."
So....like plenty of signs and shit aren't good enough? Do you know how much it would cost to lower the street or raise the bridge? Not the city's fault people are fucking dumb.
Raise the bridge: Raise the track for several miles in each direction, necessitating replacement of all the other bridges along this stretch of track, and take the busy track out of service while this is being done.
Lower the road: Reroute the 100 year old sewer main right under it.
Neither's gonna realistically happen.
your right there reality says the truckers need to grow some brains
Not an expert here, but couldn't they put the signs further back? I mean, it's not reasonable to expect the town to do major work just for a few trucks, but it's also not very reasonable(IMO) to expect everyone, or even every truck-driver to mind one single bridge in one town that they may or may not visit at any point in their career.
Matthew Marden You can see the signs on google street view.
I love the ones where the top gets peeled off like a sardine can.
Kenneth Busler me too!
That's not a bridge, it's a can opener for trucks! :D
satisfying
Kenneth Busler there is something oddly satisfying about seeing them peel back like that
Kenneth Busler the clean peelers are great but I love the chop n' drops
I love how the second trucker with the haystack tried to make it right after the first and IDENTICAL truck did not.
1st driver: "Fuck!"
2nd driver: "Fuck it!"
As a truck driver we are supposed to know the height of our vehicles. Semis are usually at 13’6.” So anything lower than that is asking for trouble. Now I’ve also been in situations as a first time driver where I was coming up to a low clearance bridge in Joliet and I had to quickly find a way to turn around. I didn’t keep going. I turned around at a quarry. But it applies with moving vehicles as well obviously.
Im gonna start a roof repair business there.

Im dying over here 🤣
BTW, I have been a truck driver for the last 12 years of my life and there's no way in hell I would ever drive under this bridge. I realize that there's only maybe 2 or 3 actual CDL licensed drivers in this video, but it's your responsibility to know your truck's height and pay attention to all signs and warning devices.
The very last one got me 🤣 he was like "nah, I wont risk it" then turned around thinking he could make it

4:05 I think that might be my favorite. It's so small and so quiet, but I love the fact that he just loses a pipe and then keeps going.
5:00 Is another favorite, you can see how the truck is driving real slow somehow thinking that if he does that he'll magically fit. And he does, but loses the top AC units. He probably won't notice until way later.
5:41
Another driver who thinks that if he goes REAL slow he can somehow sneak under the bridge. Doesn't quite work.

10 minutes of people getting fired.

That's hilarious!
Except the people driving RVs. Unless one could get fired from retirement.
Or driving rentals
I learned something. U-Haul drivers are geniuses!
I like how despite all the warnings, the drivers are always thinking one of two things:
1: If I go really slow, I will somehow become shorter and get through.
2: If I go super goddamn fast, I'll phase through the bridge and remain unharmed.
thehonorablereese I live here and Alton it’s not really visible in the vid, the bridge is on an incline, I have no idea why they haven’t changed the sign but after going a distance under the bridge it’s no longer that height anymore
theyre not going slow nor fast due to the bridge thats just how they were driving
Hobu123 they actually raised the bridge not deepen the road
No, Not really. They go slow to see if they can fit under causing as little damage as they can if they hit it and people that go fast they just think they will fit under it.
@Hobu123 The bridge is for an actively used rail line, and there is a sewer main right under the road. Fixing either would have cost multiple millions of dollars.
Gotta love the drivers who slow down to about 5 mph and see if they can catch the bridge napping and sneak under it.
And here, we see the bridge in it's natural habitat. The always confidant truck, closes in, not fearing the fact that it is an impossible feat to come out of battling such an apex predator alive.
I like how the car crash was added, as if it’s the bridges fault

In a small town where I was born, Clinton Ontario Canada, had this low train bridge, and year after year after year there were hundreds of trucks and equipment slamming into the bridge. I only lived a few blocks away from that bridge, and you could easily hear the steel twisting and slamming into the bridge, we would just say "yup there goes another truck" lol. Right from when I was a baby all the way up until they got it fixed in 2012. So now no more trucks are slamming into that bridge. Oh, the reason why it all of a sudden got fixed? Let's just say somebody that was very very important lost a piece of $200,000 equipment when the truck that went under the bridge hit it. 😳
I love how a very select few of these are able to scrape by enough to not notice.

At what point does the Penske company tell their drivers to stop going down that road?
If you look on the side you'll see they say Penske Truck Rental. Penske rents its trucks to businesses that need to haul freight, as well as to consumers doing DIY moving work, similar to U-Haul.
So in all likelihood, the drivers of these trucks are just regular people with little to no commercial driving experience, driving these trucks without sufficient knowledge of the road they're taking or the vertical space they need. And in a split-second they cost themselves or their company a pile of money when the trailer of their rental truck gets peeled open like a banana.
Milton Graham ......it seems after about the 11th time...
Penske is a truck rental company - Like U-Haul. When anyone (business or individual) rents a truck, a contract/form is signed that says "I am responsible for any damages to the vehicle," with the one exception being if you pay for Limited Damage Waiver (LDW) - that is, unless peeling the top of the truck off is a violation of the rental agreement.
So in all reality, Penske won't tell people this, because most people don't purchase LDW. Penske has their own insurance on this crap - a small deductible to replace the entire vehicle - and the fee they charge people more than likely covers this and then some... meaning that Penske _makes_ money from these kinds of crashes...
With all of the racing history in Nascar & IndyCar comes down to destroying your trucks
the fact that people get a truck and don't know the clearance height, amazes me. lmao

The fact that bridge is still standing is an amazing work of engineering.
because the crash beam in front of it is protecting the trestle from impact and excessive force from the trucks and RVs that crash into it.
I’m sure the bridge has been directly hit many times over the last 100 years (before the I beam was added)

In case you guys didn’t know, that yellow flashing sign is sensor activated. It only flashes when a sensor several hundred feet back measures a passing truck as overheight. And yet, drivers still ignore the flashing light
Not surprising Rental trucks are usually driven by people generally unfamiliar with the unit's total height, in that scenario it's easy to forget and end up stuck like that. They are still in the wrong.
@@alexisrivera200xable Later this year I will rent a C25 RV again but my first question is: what is the height of that thing? Answer will be written on a paper which will be placed on the dashboard. I'm not returning the car without the AC unit.
@@demus8757 You friend are one of the smart ones, you would be surprised how much people just revert back to driving this sort of big rentals like they do their cargo vans or their own F-series trucks on force of habit alone.
You got to love some of God's creations right
They be some true dips.
Driver: "Ooh, that bridge is too low."
Driver's brain: *"NO IT'S NOT. LET'S GOOO!!!"*
even after 7 years, this just never gets old XD
Bridge builder: Most large vehicles are 12 foot huh? Lets make this bridge 11' 8"
Ryan Jonas probably accurate
Read the description, the bridge is over 100 years old.
Ivan Chavez r/woooosh
Then make the road under the bridge lower
Read the description....
imagine living in the house next to this bridge and waking up every morning to CRASHRHRHRH
And every Afternoon, Evening and at Night.
"That's one more tally mark"
I would literally make sure I had a balcony and make a point after work to do whatever I needed with this thing in the background because it would be a comedy bit every hour
Ah shit! Here we go again.
I would love to live there! Endless lolz
The part that gets me is the truck just slowly and gently wrestling down the stop signs ToT
These are classics! An engineers wet dream come true. Thank you. Saw you on tv once!
Is that all the same bridge? Holy cow. The local Penske rental desk must sigh every time someone comes in to hand the keys back with a sheepish look on their face.
AndreiTupolev its the same bridge bro
AndreiTupolev They probably tell you to avoid that area all together
AndreiTupolev the same bridge... but the trucks were all driven by the same driver
FnafGamer2002 XL no they weren't are you stupid Penske is a moving truck company, just like uhaul. You hire people to drive the truck or Penske hires 3rd party truck drivers to do it.
AndreiTupolev Thought the same thing!
That truck repair business must be doing pretty well
Lol true
And the bridge-inspection business.
There’s probably one just a couple hundred feet away
🤣
Billboard on the other side saying “lost a fight with a bridge? We can help. Call Jibson’s truck and RV repair today!”
Imagine returning the truck to the rental place with the top ripped off 😂😂😂
1. Thank you for mixing it up! Different levels of crashes with the odd 'plain car crash' or general stupidity. Thank you. 2. I would imagine there is some kind of insurance agency kiosk set up right under the camera/cameras. 3. Do the people who belong to those parked cars in the video ever get used to the sound of the crashes? Like, do they have a top ten list? Or categories? 4. That has GOT to be a tremendous scare. You're driving along, no worries, then all of a sudden there's this God awful loud CRASH and the truck stops and the truck goes up into the air and.... a lot happens at once.
I love how cleanly some of the tops peel off. It's like a sardine can.
Loey Lancastor No you don't.
Loey Lancastor 0:24 and. 0:33
Most of those are from the same driver who just gets fired and re-hired multiple times by different companies. He doesn't learn..
I believe he used to work for the Cleveland Browns!
Joey Jamison it's Bernie Kosar
I just love how you see a bunch of the same company trucks doing it over and over again.
This truly never gets old
The trick is you have to hit the gas real hard and you will fit
Experimental Fun actually assassin creeding seems to be the strategy in favour here
Experimental Fun that only works in boats!
Experimental Fun
you are wrong, you have to drive it at an angle. trust me on this one.
You gotta slam on the brakes at JUST the right time to get the nose of the truck to "dip," and then punch the gas at exactly the halfway point.
Experimental Fun You gotta lean the truck to the left to fit
Do Penske even have trucks left at this point?
I thought the same thing! 😂
The first one was used in the okc bombing
Them or enterprise
demonstructie lol I know they probably got paid good if the right person was driving who's on they insurance!!
demonstructie idek
The last one had my faith in humanity restored for only a millisecond 😂😂😂
It’s amazing how fragile these trucks are. Some of them were going 10mph tops, and still crumpled like paper.
The top of the truck is nothing but lightweight aluminum skin attached to plywood, intended only to protect the contents against rain and theft, and not designed to sustain any weight or impact. It’s not much stronger than cardboard and it’s no match for hitting those steel beams at speed.
@@zyglo9826 Huh, neat! Thanks for the lesson!
are we all just going to ignore how fast the people behind them stopped?
GeoPlayer123 dude I thought that too!!! It's so impressive!!!
They are just paying attention to the road so its easy to stop quickly. Not impressive if you are a good driver.
It an amazing thing called: brakes
The stopping itself is not impressive. It's impressive that this many people in traffic actually paid attention and kept safety distance so they could stop quickly and not cause another crash. As most of us know, at least in some countries, lots of our fellow drivers tend to think safety and attention are not really needed when driving, which is why this situation could easily cause a rear-end collision and its nice and impressive it didnt even nearly happen in all of the clips, you two braniacs.
@@grendo45 So, pretty much the people stopping.
Why is this not a livestream😂?!?!
Asking the real questions
Apparently it only happens every couple months.
I think it was
jrs_ 2000 it is a live stream just not to public platforms. I'd love to watch this live on RUclips but they have put over height traffic lights and signs there now it seems to have stopped the problem
+Tommy Zark Out of curiosity where can this be found?
Not sure what's better...the video or the video description!😂😂
I love how some try to go through it as fast as possible so they get a clean skim
The man who made that bridge had to have known he would go down in history for being the ultimate troll.
MosDaring yes actually. 1 foot rise in 100 linear feet is pretty common for trains. some are 2 or 3 feet per 100.
or you know, dig the road further down lol
racist it was a woman
xboxgamer969 but if they did that there wouldn't be a RUclips channel little website for it
MosDaring little known fact, trains can indeed go up hills
that bridge almost single handedly bankruped Penske lol
DerOldHerr lé joke m8
They crashed only 8 trucks. They have much more in the company.
Some people just can't take a joke. LOL or are just too serious.
that's actually pretty much impossible because the truck renters usually pay for the damages they do to the truck, so Penske would have just gotten the money from the renter to repair it.
I meant, they have more truck to crash. :-)
One of the funniest RUclips videos of all time!!
