After more than 30 truck hits on overpasses in BC this last year the only viable solution in my opinion is to put a device just ahead of the overpasses flashes lights to tell other vehicles to get away from the truck, then stop the truck with a spike strip before it can do tens of millions of dollars of damage to infrastructure.
At least put a cross beam like the one in the video, a lot less dangerous to cars when hit than the overpasses which will have crumbling concrete falling to the road.
I think a giant swing arm with a large hooked spike on the receiving end would be best. Hit the arm with your over height load and the spike swings around and catches/destroys your trailer before you can wreck the bridge.
