Also, whenever I get a new pickup truck, I always measure the highest point (usually the antenna but not always). I keep that on a piece of paper in both Feet/Inches and in just inches. Said paper is above my visor. Anytime I get to a questionable tunnel or underpass (or drive-through window) a quick glance tells me whether I'm good or not. Wouldn't be a bad idea to know the max height of your cart and keep that on hand or memorized. Of course, it would be VERY helpful if the tunnels minimum height (Center and top sides) were labeled.
I worked in downtown Atlanta for years and daily parked in underground or regular parking decks. I was driving mostly standard height 4x4 pickups at the time and knew to the inch how tall they were and how low the various overhangs, pipes, etc. were. In more than one spot I had to almost stop the truck and idle under sections for fear of the truck bouncing and ripping the roof off! I got very proficient at putting those trucks into spots I wouldn't think of trying today.
