Overheight Vehicle Detection Promotes Safety and Protects Property
A study by the Department of Transportation found that in 8 of 11 states that deployed overheight vehicle detection measures, the systems reduced overheight collisions with infrastructure components. By implementing a system to detect overheight vehicles, you not only protect valuable infrastructure but also ensure the safety of your property, employees, and drivers.
Why Is Detecting Overheight Vehicles Needed?
Overheight vehicles threaten both the involved vehicle and impacted structures. Providing an early warning prevents damage, injury, and complications from property destruction.
View Signs Designed to Warn Overheight VehiclesHow Does Overheight Vehicle Detection Work?
A controller, latch timer, and long-range sensor trigger an LED sign at entrances. When a vehicle is overheight, it activates the sensor, and the LED sign immediately alerts the driver.

The main benefit is protecting property from damage. Additionally, overheight detection...
- Saves money by eliminating costly repairs from damage
- Improves safety for employees, customers, and other visitors
- Reduces disruptions in traffic flow
- Provides real-time, preemptive warning for drivers
- Is easy to install
What Costs are Associated with Detecting Overheight Vehicles?
System costs depend on several factors, allowing cost control. Component choices set the base price while providing flexibility in LED sign selection. Sign size, LED count, and character height affect pricing. Opting for standard-sized rather than custom signs is another consideration.
What Alternatives Are There for Overheight Vehicles?
A basic warning is a non-illuminated aluminum clearance bar, which displays the entrance clearance height. This method relies on drivers knowing their vehicle height and deciding if clearance is sufficient. While helpful, a detection system removes guesswork by clearly indicating if a vehicle is overheight.
