Gregson Street train trestle. It's a one-way road running south through downtown Durham.
The bridge has a series of bright yellow warning signs and employs an electronic sensor that sets off flashing lights to warn tall trucks.
At 11 feet, 8 inches, the bridge is low and therefore is also clearly marked as such.

The truck-shredding bridge, at Gregson and Peabody streets, is notorious among police, truckers and tow-truck operators. Too-tall trucks barreling under it come out with convertible tops.

The bridge has a Raleigh counterpart -- the Peace Street railroad overpass -- where truckers also miss the message.

Of the 46 accidents at the Durham intersection since 2000, 30 were caused by trucks banged into the bridge causing damages totaled more than $115,000.

The designers were clearly trolling when they made that thing.
