Pretty sure it can.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of 15 is bigger than the 12 feet truck. If the width is 50 feet, and is divided by two, we get a 25 foot lane road on each side. Since 14 feet wide is smaller than that ... I'm pretty sure it can fit under the archway and stay in it's own lane.
