New rules would require GPS devices to show bridge heights, helping truck drivers avoid crashes.
This bill would make GPS devices show bridge heights to help commercial truck drivers avoid crashes. It would also create a national center for bridge strike data and fund research to make roads safer. This aims to reduce costly accidents and improve safety for everyone on the road.
Today, there are no federal rules requiring GPS devices to show bridge clearance heights, and no central place to collect data on bridge strikes. If this bill passes, the Department of Transportation would create new rules for GPS devices to include bridge height information. It would also set up a national clearinghouse for bridge strike data and a grant program to fund research into preventing these accidents.
