Bridge hit yet again.

Does this bridge not have those warning wires stretching across the approaches?

I noticed last week that the railway bridge on Saffron Lane, as you head down from Aylestone Road, has them.

These are the same height as the bridge and would give you plenty of warning by snagging the top of your wagon/lorry/bus if you were too tall.

I think often it's incorrect satnav data and people stupidly choose (surely a computer can't be wrong!) the onscreen info rather than the very clear and accurate signs that have been there for years.
