Unusually low height restriction

Post by gareth71
This segment has an unusually low height restriction - 6 feet - as it passes under the railway line.

I know we normally don't factor height restrictions into the mapping - Waze is for private motorists rather than commercial drivers, etc. - but this bridge is sufficiently low that it'll cause issues even for some larger private vehicles (today's UR from someone failing to pass under it illustrates this!).

So - how best to map this in a way which maintains its status as a public highway but takes the extreme restriction into account?

I believe I have seen one other similar location, the segment was named "low bridge" and continue instructions used on each approach to ensure it gets read aloud or shown on the instructions.

Other than that there is little we can do. A Map Comment should reduce the chances of another editor removing the setup without thinking.
