I agree... but that also means that you stop short of any obstruction. If a diversion is in place that involves a low bridge and your vehicle is too tall for it, then it's up to you to find an alternative route that you can fit down. Drivers of large vehicles are usually professionals after all.I think that you need to appreciate the concept of 'drive on sight'. It's actually quite standard.
If an emergency closure means that vehicles are sent along an inappropriate route, then that is a problem and there maybe needs to be a system in place that prevents this happening. But ultimately it is the driver's responsibility to stop before any obstruction.
