Overpasses are designed to be high to allow for sufficient clearance for vehicles, including large trucks and buses, as well as to accommodate the safe passage of trains or pedestrians beneath them. The height also helps prevent collisions and ensures that traffic can flow smoothly without interruptions. Additionally, elevated structures can help minimize land use and avoid interference with existing roadways and infrastructure.

Why were overpasses built 15 feet high?

Overpasses were built 15 feet high primarily to accommodate the clearance needed for large vehicles, such as trucks and buses, ensuring safe passage beneath them. This height standard allows for the majority of commercial vehicles, which can be up to 13.5 feet tall, to pass without risk of collision. Additionally, this height provides a buffer for potential roadway changes and ensures safety for all types of traffic.
