Peter Marston, a resident of Romsey said the answer is for drivers to know the height of their vehicles.
Abbey Ward councillor, John Critchley, said: "This is happening far too often.
"The cost and disruption each time must be considered and there is always a concern that one day there will be real damage to the bridge, or even worse, serious injury or loss of life.

Romsey Tadburn Councillor, Mark Cooper has been pressing for action to prevent over-height lorries reaching the bridge for years.

He added : `` As the already fat get even fatter expect an even larger number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concern must be that crews engaged hauling the morbidly obese from their houses are unavailable to fulfil their principal duty of hauling people from burning buildings .
`` If one death should occur as a result it would be a calamity and rightly see the Government disgraced . ''

`` Robust government action has decreased the sugar content in soft drinks by almost a third and we ’ ve invested millions promoting physical activity in schools . ''

Public sector union Unison says extreme obesity is a worsening problem for ambulance staff, with calls to the fire brigade for assistance increasingly common.
Home Office figures show crews from the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service attended eight callouts for bariatric assistance – helping ambulance staff to move obese people – in 2018-19.
That was higher than the seven incidents recorded the previous year.
Firefighters often need lifting equipment and special slings to transport obese people, and sometimes remove windows, walls and banisters.
Freedom of Information requests to some fire and rescue services have shown the average cost to them of a callout is £400.

For some non-emergency cases, services have been able to recover costs since legislation was put in place in 2004.

It comes as police confirmed they have received reports of a "small number of incidents" linked to speculation about coronavirus across Southampton and Portsmouth.
In one alleged incident, a University of Southampton student reportedly had a stone thrown at him in the city centre.
Another student wearing a face mask was reportedly called a "virus" as she walked home.
Meanwhile, a staff member at a Chinese restaurant in Southampton was said to have been harassed by a man who cited the coronavirus.
The reports have prompted bosses at the University of Southampton to express their concerns.
Students from Southampton University Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA) have also hit back with a defiant poster, which reads "I am not a virus, I am a human".
The posters are being displayed in businesses along Burgess Road, close to the university's Highfield Campus, as well as in the heavily student populated Portswood area.
A spokesperson for the University of Southampton said: “The university is extremely concerned by unacceptable behaviour directed at Chinese students.
“We have not had any reports of incidents on campus but we do not tolerate any form of racism and would take action as a matter of urgency on any such behaviour.
"We would urge staff and students to come forward if they are aware of any racist incidents taking place.
“We are proud of Southampton’s culturally diverse history which is an important part of our city’s identity.
"We wish to reaffirm that any students or staff who experience a racist incident can confidently report it to the university with the expectation that it will be investigated and appropriate actions taken; this may include referring the incident to the police.”
A Hampshire Police spokesperson said: "A small number of incidents linked to speculation about coronavirus have been reported to us in Southampton and Portsmouth.
"Any crime perpetuated through ignorance, prejudice or hate is unacceptable.
"We are working with our partners and the local Chinese communities and we would encourage everyone to report incidents to us either by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency."

More passengers means more handling staff, more caterers, and more taxis.
