We also found really dumb colors of height boards on some of the NC bridges. White lettering on a green background that gets sun bleached is a really poor choice.

It seems hard to believe that there is much regulation on this especially since so many bridges don't even have height boards. And many that do face them inwards so you can see them really well when you're passing through the bridge but not during the approach.
I found that 50% of the bridges give a center height, 50% a low steel height and 50% a height st the fenders.
