There is actually signage alerting people to this hazard, as is the norm, in addition to the lower limit.

Ironically, there is a low bridge a mile before this bit of road with huge signs alerting truck drivers that it is quite a bit 'lower' than they might be reckoning on.

Guess what, it still gets hit - so much so there is now flashing light signage in addition and, thus far, this has also proved ineffective.

I'll save the red traffic light signal example for later...

Sounds similar to the famous 8 ft 11 in bridge [1] (since raised to 12 ft 4 in, but still racking up victims). 177 crashes since 2008, most of them caught on camera at that site.
