Some drivers are remarkably unaware of the size of their vehicle, judging by
the bashes that keep happening. Eventually the worst example bridges get
sacrificial beams so the idiots damage their vehicles and not the railway.


Not all of them. The Ely underpass is one of the most bashed bridges in
the country, but doesn't have any sacrificial beams, or even any dangly
things, which are used at some locations. You couldn't really put more
signage before or on it either:
