Low Ground Clearance Plaque

Supplemental plaque warning that a nearby crossing has low ground clearance.

Mounted as a supplement to a railroad-crossing warning, this plaque alerts drivers of long, low vehicles that the upcoming track crossing has a hump that can cause them to high-center and become stranded on the rails. Such drivers should detour; passenger cars and standard pickups typically clear the hump but should still cross with care.
