The bridge is on S Pennsylvania Ave in Lansing, MI, hence “Penny”. Construction has routed more people through there than normal lately increasing the bridges hunger.

If there’s one thing people that rent trucks or RVs never learn, it’s the height of their vehicle (and that yes the flashing overheight lights are in fact for you).

They’ll follow Google maps anywhere blindly. Rational thinking is turned off.

That’s how people drove into a lake, under a train, het themselves stuck in too narrow streets, arrive on the wrong country and so on.

  This bridge has been stupid low for decades, and it’s a main artery from downtown to the highway. As of the last time I drove past it, the advance warnings signs didn’t seem adequate to me.

it’s important to know your motorhome’s height, how else are you supposed to get drive-thru food?
