Bridge strikes cost the UK economy over £23 million per year in delays, damage, and emergency response. The majority happen to van and lorry drivers who didn't know the bridge was ahead — or trusted a navigation app that doesn't account for vehicle height.
HeightWise maintains a live database of every known height restriction in the UK, sourced from Network Rail records, local authority data, and OpenStreetMap community surveys.
Under 3.0m (9'10") — Extremely low. Impassable for most commercial vehicles, transit vans, and motorhomes.
3.0m–4.5m (9'10"–14'9") — Standard danger zone. Many vans, trucks, and coaches fall in this range.
4.5m+ (14'9"+) — Most standard vehicles can pass, but always verify against your specific load height.
All heights are in metres. Imperial equivalents shown on individual bridge pages. Data is provided for planning purposes — always check signage at the bridge.
