Missed Bridge Clearance Caused Crash

Should there be more prominent signage at overpasses like the one on Oyster Bay Road?

The Locust Valley  of a 45-year-old bus driver happened when the top several inches of a cement truck struck a railroad overpass crossing Oyster Bay Road, causing the truck to cross into oncoming traffic.

White signs on either side of the overpass warn that clearance is 10 feet and one inch. 

Is that warning sufficient? Would you like to see any other precautions taken to make conditions safer at this site and similar ones?
