Maybe they need to start installing those height restriction warning bars at each entrance ramp like the ones you see before low train bridges and overpasses on local streets

I think the problem there would be maintenance vehicles. The Merrit legally has oversized trucks on it all the time, they're just doing maintenance, turning around and getting off rather than traveling til they break a 100 year old overpass

Maybe make them like gates and the DOT has the keys to get through?

there are turnpike certified trucks... better, higher-visibility signage for truck drivers would be a great start. remember a lot of them are from the former soviet union or latin america, and english language requirements in trucking are not well enforced, so that signage MUST use easily understandable and recognizable icons, not the 8pt paragraphs referencing obscure laws that some workzones like to use...
