As dumb as it is for people to ignore the signs, they really should reroute that rail track if they can't do anything about altering the bridge and then tear the bridge down.

This is just speculation based on the FAQ, but it looks like the perfect set of circumstances where the bridge can't be modified, the road can't be modified, and I'm suspecting there's not really a good place to put a turnoff let alone a place to reroute the train tracks altogether. In at least one part of the video you can see a guy realize his mistake just before crashing into the bridge, stop and try to turn around, only to find there's nowhere to go. You'd think truckers in the area would at least be aware that there's a cursed bridge in the area that eats trucks and that rental companies would warn people about it.

Well, a lot of the truckers are likely coming in from out of the area. They're in a hurry and not thinking about it since most bridges like that are high enough for them to clear so they just ignore all the signs.

Why? It's not the railroad company's trucks that are getting trashed, why should they pay millions of dollars and their customers put up with months of delays and disruption when they can just put a big beam in front of it with more than enough warnings?

Last I heard they had figured out a way to lower the roadway a few more inches but it's not done much to stem the tide of suicide-trucks.
 
Organised Riots are a police's worst nightmare for them. When you have people already setting out plans and resources ready with people to command and guide rioters into doing objectives and tactics successfully, you are going to lose so much ground due to how unexpected and quick some groups can be in capturing officers off-guard. If a sizeable amount of people were trained properly on what to do in the front lines and supported with solid equipment to protect themselves from Pepper Spray, Tasers, Gas and Nightsticks along with people to back them up so they get administered first-aid or don't get captured, yea that's going to be an absolute shitshow for police. I don't know what you would call those types of organised groups at that point. Irregular Military, Militia or just Rioters with an cause?

Hong Kong Protesters were already using Roman Shield Tactics and Techniques to deflect gas canisters and push back officers with nothing but umbrellas and the fact that HK Protesters lasted as long as they did with no one to support them but themselves can showcase how people organised with an actual objective in mind can make any officer's day miserable.
