Watch a crane truck almost break the famous 11-foot-8 bridge

This truck is an extreme case for testing the effectiveness of the warning sign. It’s only a few inches too high, pretty much only at the crane hinge at the extreme rear of the vehicle. That would result in a small enough detector pulse, especially when the truck is going that fast, that the signal conditioning circuitry may have filtered it out as noise.
That said, the crane driver’s job is to pay attention to vehicle height and approach bridges cautiously.
