Every time i see these vids im just sat there thinking “HOW DO YOU MISS ALL THE SIGNS???” its not even just normal signs, it has lights, led text, a big fat orange steel bar, standard high vis signs on both sides.
Wait until it happens to you. It almost did to me and I was entirely oblivious, so I can no longer blame them for being idiots.
I was moving to a new city, but I had been there many times. One of the more useful roads was along the River, curving in and out, and under a bunch of low bridges: great fun to drive, plus I was really familiar with it. So, guess what route I naturally took with the moving van. Yup. Did I notice all the “Cars Only” signs? Nope, they had all faded into background noise. Did I notice all the height limits? Nope, not used to looking for those, plus I was busy trying to find my way around an unfamiliar area pre-GPS. I was saved by a buddy whose car I was following, who realized it and got off the road at the last minute. I still didn’t have a clue, but eventually matched up the height of the truck with the height of the bridges, and realized how close I had come to being on the News

Just makes it all the more entertaining.
The most fun are when the driver approaches slowly, like you can sneak up on it…
