Height restriction signs aren�t just a suggestion
Trucker sheers off roof driving too-big-rig length of Lincoln Tunnel
A truck driver whose rig was 6 inches too tall for the Lincoln Tunnel drove its entire 1.5-mile length, peeling the trailer�s roof completely and ripping off decorative ceiling tiles.
Flashing signs and officers using a loudspeaker had warned the driver, and it was unclear why he didn�t heed them, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the tunnel.
�He misjudged the height of the tunnel, and once he was inside it he didn�t realize the damage he was doing,� said Roy Guzman, the safety director of the trucker�s employer, U.S.A. Logistics Carriers of McAllen, Texas.
