How low it gets here
Of the 770 restrictions in Tennessee, 41 are under 2.5 m, 80 sit between 2.5 and 3.2 m — the band where a typical motorhome has to stop — 101 between 3.2 and 4.0 m, and 379 above 4.0 m. The median signed clearance is 4.22 m.
What the numbers leave out
169 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.
