Low railroad overpass - can something like this be incorporated into Waze?
Greetings - I live in Stafford Virginia and being a DC "suburb" along the I-95 corridor - we have daily backups/congestion. I believe Stafford made #1 on someone's worst traffic survey. When vehicles are redirected by GPS - they are sent down a road locally that has a 9'2" clearance under a Norfolk Southern Railroad line. Occasionally, we have an occasional bridge strike - but lately - with all the I-95 construction, some trucks are attempting to go under the bridge - and 2 within the last week hit the overpass, which was closed each day following the accidents for an inspection.
Although there are ample traffic control devices warning of the low bridge - people go where the GPS takes them and WHAM. I know there's tone I get when approaching Railroad tracks - but nothing when you go UNDER them, especially those with low clearances. Perhaps there is a way Waze could show this hazard? Who knows, just trying to be a good citizen.
