In a recent letter to operators, the Senior Traffic Commissioner for Great Britain reminded the industry of the importance of reducing the risk of bridge strikes within your organisation. Fortunately, SURE Solutions has the perfect system to help with this.
As a vehicle operator, it is your responsibility to ensure that your fleet operates safely and without posing risks to road users. One critical risk is bridge strikes, which can lead to serious consequences, costly repairs, service disruptions, and delays for both road and rail users. Preventing bridge strikes is not a new challenge for the transport industry, but failure to manage this risk can lead to regulatory action against both operators and drivers.
A low bridge warning system uses vehicle height settings, GPS and bridge data to provide audible and visual alerts in the cab. SURE checks the existing equipment, installs a compatible setup and verifies its configuration. Driver height checks, route planning and road signs remain essential.
