How low it gets here

Of the 1,400 restrictions in British Columbia, 382 are under 2.5 m, 34 sit between 2.5 and 3.2 m — the band where a typical motorhome has to stop — 54 between 3.2 and 4.0 m, and 447 above 4.0 m. The median signed clearance is 3.85 m.

What the numbers leave out

483 of them state no height at all. That is not a clear road: somebody recorded a limit without a number. Treat those as obstacles of unknown height. Where nothing is signed, the general limit in Canada applies — 4.15 m.

Questions

How many low bridges are there in British Columbia?

1,400 height restrictions of every kind are recorded in British Columbia: 382 under 2.5 m and 34 between 2.5 and 3.2 m, the range that stops an ordinary motorhome.

What is the lowest bridge in British Columbia?

The lowest clearance a road vehicle can still pass is 2.00 m, and the table above starts with it. Anything signed lower is a gate or a barrier rather than a road.

How current is this data?

It is rebuilt every week from OpenStreetMap; these figures were measured on September 18, 2026. A restriction nobody has mapped is not here, so above 3 m plan the route before you set off.
