Well tonite I'm leaving Worcester after going to my sister's for dinner. Not late at all, just a bit past 7:00 pm.
And I'm following a tractor trailer truck that turns off Chandler and heads south on Southbridge (too which anyone from Worcester now knows the inevitable conclusion to his trip...)
Big sign says, "Low Clearance 12' 9" "
At the STOPLIGHT there is even a sign that directs traffic headed to I-290 to take a left...
But, alas, no.
Looking straight ahead at a bridge 300' away from the stoplight where stopped at, the truck driver takes off on green. You know, the Providence & Worcester Railroad bridge on Southbridge Street -- with the big yellow sign on it "Max. Height 12' 9" "
I ease just ahead of the intersection, now realizing the driver isn't slowing down thinking, "This is going to be interesting."
And yes, the trailer was a standard height 13' 6" box trailer. Was.
