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.
