in Germany you will often find "height above sea level" written on signs for
Motorway-Bridges so height=* is not very clear. I think it would be better
to attach this information to the street, not to the bridge because it is
the street that is influenced by this. and you could argue that in those
cases the "legal" height is identical with the "physical" height.
