A new sign was hoisted over an entrance to Storrow Drive in Boston on Monday, the latest attempt to prevent trucks from crashing into the low-clearance overpasses on the highway — an occurrence that’s so common it has its own place in local lore.
If the new sign is successful, more will be hung at entrances to the parkways along the Charles River — Boston's Soldiers Field Road and Cambridge's Memorial Drive as well as Storrow Drive.
The new sign is heavier and more reflective than the one it replaces and with a sturdier connection that officials believe will serve as a clearer warning to drivers.
