How low it gets here
Of the 860 restrictions in Virginia, 93 are under 2.5 m, 63 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 339 above 4.0 m. The median signed clearance is 4.11 m.
What the numbers leave out
264 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.
