Buses bottoming out?

Saw a temporary sign posted heading up the 25th St. hill toward Jefferson. Said "Buses 5 MPH" right at the train tracks before the really steep portion of the road. Someone must've been going too fast in one of those lengthy transporters and did a little nose grind with the pavement.

How do I know this? Similar things have happened to me in my wife's car on some steeper driveways around town. Bus drivers of Tacoma, I feel your pain. Funny that, though a Pierce Transit sign, there aren't any routes that go up that hill. Maybe it's those darn Anarchists clogging town with mischievous signage.
