A device may determine a geographical location and direction of a vehicle traveling on a highway, street or road, the vehicle having a known height. A device may determine the presence of a nearby overhead hazard toward which the vehicle is traveling. A device may retrieve from a database a height of the nearby overhead hazard. A device may compare height of the nearby overhead hazard to the known height of the vehicle. A device may provide an audible warning to the driver that the overhead hazard is too low for the vehicle to safely pass.
