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:
