I don't know of any standards other than the Interstate highways, which require a minimum of 13'6", I believe. We use the trucker's atlas and it not only shows all the roads on the national truck network, but lists any low clearances by state in table form. If nothing is listed, you can assume 13'6", generally.

Light posts have never been a problem, but tree branches can be, especially on side streets. On major streets, you can usually tell if the trucks have been traveling on them as the trees will look squared off
