Definition in Chinese
表示在某一处对车辆或物体允许通过的最高高度，常见于桥下、隧道口和停车场入口等处。biǎo shì zài mǒu yí chù duì chē liàng huò wù tǐ yún xǔ tōng guò de zuì gāo gāo dù cháng jiàn yú qiáo xià suì dào kǒu hé tíng chē chǎng rù kǒu děng chù
Word origin
限 (xiàn, "limit") + 高 (gāo, "height") forms a compound naming the greatest height that a vehicle or object may pass beneath.
Usage tips
- A Chinese sign may give this limit in metres, so a number such as 2.1 m refers to total height rather than the height of the vehicle body alone.
