Risk of grounding at a railway or tramway level crossing or hump backed bridge

A red triangle showing a low car hitting a hump warns long-wheelbase vehicles of crossings or bridges where the geometry can ground a low chassis. Caravans, sports cars, transporters and lowered vehicles are most at risk. If you're towing or driving low, find an alternative route.
