How low it gets here

Of the 3,185 restrictions in New York, 309 are under 2.5 m, 415 sit between 2.5 and 3.2 m — the band where a typical motorhome has to stop — 1,573 between 3.2 and 4.0 m, and 173 above 4.0 m. The median signed clearance is 3.61 m.

What the numbers leave out

715 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.
