How low it gets here
Of the 1,268 restrictions in Paris, 378 are under 2.5 m, 76 sit between 2.5 and 3.2 m — the band where a typical motorhome has to stop — 193 between 3.2 and 4.0 m, and 195 above 4.0 m. The median signed clearance is 2.75 m.
What the numbers leave out
426 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 France applies — 4.00 m.
