Anyone ever see a Low Ground Clearance sign before?



I spotted two of these on what is probably the poorest state-maintained road in the county.

I saw those a lot while going up the Delmarva last year on U.S. 13.

I have seen several of these signs in WV and know why it's a needed warning.

Never seen those before, or even heard of "low ground clearance" before. You won't find anything like that near the busy, congested roads around here. What's the purpose of that anyway?

It's for trucks that are pulling trailers...or even just vehicles. It's to protect from being high-centered. If only one of those would pop up during major winter storms for cars.

Interesting sign...I've never seen one before either. And thanks for the explanation, Jonathan.

They have them around the Wayne County Transportation Authority (Detroit International Airport), and around Lansing. Those things are annoying with bigger cars

We've been high-centered before, but it wasn't because of a ly-made road. It was because of snowpack.

To warn you PennDot doesn't know how to build a flat road.

I am so glad to be back home. I've been away for a while. I've been in and out of the city all week.

The Family Reunion was great. Everything was awesome as planned. I'm now working on a movie with all of clips I caught. I have to make... uhh... 30-40 copies.

Also I spent the week at Ensenada. The hotel I stayed at *promised* wifi, but I was charged $2 an hour to use it at the Pool Lounge.  So, which was why my lack of activity here kinda drifted on. But.... I'm pretty happy to be back.

I had plans to be away again tomorrow, but I'm very homesick. I miss my kitties and my doggy, and most of all my friends and family. I guess when the 5.4 earthquake hit on Wednesday, I started to worry about everyone in EC and my cellphone lacked service when I was at the beach.

I really hope everyone is well this week, and hope everyone had a great holiday weekend last week. Mine's been a blast!

Try 5 Euro and hr! Some hotels love sticking it to you for wifi. Its a pain! Glad to have you home Ana.

[Mike M]

All the hotels I've been to don't charge anything for internet.

Anyone going to get a free Slurpee tomorrow? I will be getting several

Thanks for reminding me.

Thanks Martin. $5 Euro... that's just as expensive! Remind me to find a hotel with free internet that's not wifi-ish next time I visited Ensenada (last time, in October, the hotel I stayed had free internet, but I was lucky enough to bring an Ethernet cord to connect to the modem provided).

I am so totally getting some slurpeez tomorrow, I'm probably gonna walk to my nearby 7-Eleven store tomorrow morning before the heat comes to me. I don't want to come home with my melted slurpee!
