What exactly is a 'Low bridge'? i.e. what is the minimum height which
will be available under a bridge which does not have a height
restriction marked on it? I would be surprised if you would be
allowed to build a low bridge over any road now, except possibly under
very exceptional circumstances, is that not the case?

A 'low bridge' has less than 16'6" (5.03m) clearance.

Anything less should be marked.

I think full height double-deckers are about 14' 6", so I should think
that there are plenty of low bridges that they could still get under.

Well, at least the signs will make it clear.
