How low it gets here
Of the 1,383 restrictions in Massachusetts, 145 are under 2.5 m, 102 sit between 2.5 and 3.2 m — the band where a typical motorhome has to stop — 288 between 3.2 and 4.0 m, and 506 above 4.0 m. The median signed clearance is 3.96 m.
What the numbers leave out
342 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 United States applies — 4.11 m.
