Close encounters with overpasses....
My nearest miss was in "Joisey", Secaucus, NJ.
Easing down a street seeking Cardinale Trucking Co to drop some stuff at 2 AM. Foggy dark,(must have been near the river) and I see his sign just as I go by. Go on up and turn, come back. Ooops-Over pass-No marker Ease up, check nose to concrete nose clears. With window rolled down to hear I ease on. No scrubbing, bumps, peeling... Out in clear.
Street has become little a boulevard, narrow median. I go a few yards to a crossover and whack a U and come on back....
Oh Oh... Good to check again. Nose looks about 8 inches above concrete.
This contraption is lower on this side than the one I came out under.
So -No traffic on the street -Dead of night--- I backed up to where I
crossed, whacked back over to the lane I came in on, blacked the headlites, turned on the right turn signal,(no 4 ways back then) and eased up to return. Tilt...
This overpass was higher at the curb than the middle support. So I came back thru, wrong side of overpass on wrong side of the road, very slowly.
Not recommended, but you gotta do what you gotta do...
