Why over-complicate it? Just have a GPS that shows routes *without*
low bridges, that are recommended for use by buses. Then you can
avoid other nasties as well.
And you think bus companies would buy that instead of buying the
cheaper consumer version?
This was a choice between two different specialist GPS designs, to
fix a specific hazard; not a choice between a specialist and a
consumer edition.
And otherwise it's not failsafe (maybe there's a low bridge
somewhere that didn't make it into the gazetteer).
That's not failsafe anyway. What if a low bridge is built over one
of your routes?
I'd be a bit surprised if you could get planning permission to build a
new bridge that's too low for a bus, over an existing street.
I think you could, for a railway.
