A system is provided for alerting of potential vehicle damage when moving into or out of a confined space, the confined space having a side structure which can damage the vehicle when moving into the confined space if the vehicle is too close to the side structure. The system comprises a beam transmitter for transmitting a beam, and a beam receiver for receiving the beam. The beam travels along a path at an angle relative to a ground surface of from about 40 degrees to 60 degrees. An alert generator generates an alert such as light, sound, or both, when a vehicle intersects the beam.
