It exists.

It's not totally accurate, so professional oversize drivers don't trust it and double check signage by looking on Google Street view, and still check the physical signs as they drive.

Even the one on DriveBC apparently has some errors, and so do the routes that you get with your oversize permit occasionally. At the end of the day, it's ultimately the driver's responsibility to make sure every overpass/tunnel/snowshed etc is tall enough for their load.
