For countries that have different signs for legal maxheight and physical
maxheight, you can have a section of road preventing tall vehicles from
passing, but they can still legally enter the road (and get stuck?!?). In
most cases, it wouldn't be needed when the legal limit is in place, though
(at least some) tunnels might have different heights depending on lane (the
legal limit might be the central lane, and lower physical height in left
and right lane).
I am not trying to tag the difference between a catholic church, and a
catholic church with a liberal priest, I am trying to tag what I see signed
on roads.
