Actually the van will fit out between the bottom two posts.

I know someone is going to argue with me, so I went ahead and measured it to be sure:
Note:
- The van is crooked
- I ignore the mirrors because they are easily above the height of the post.
- I took the farthest left and farthest right part of the van ignoring the fact that its crooked (this means the width of the van is exaggerated)
- I measured the space between the post from the fattest point (the ground) and I also gave a spare pixel or two for both posts (this means the distance between posts is underestimated and there would be even more room than this shows).
- The fattest point on a van is at about the middle of it's height as the sides bow out beyond the lower portion and the wheels, this means that using the bottom of the posts as the measuring point (when they quickly slope inwards) ignores another source of leeway.
- Given the high angle of the shot the difference in distance between the van and posts (and thus the percieved size on a 2-d plane) is negligible, particularly compared to what it would have been for a ground level shot.

Not to be picky about your measurements, but they aren't scientific because this is not a direct overview which would make the measurements accurate, but a forward, downward overview which means your 2 pixel difference would be negated due to the angle.... the closer object will be wider because it's closer to the lens of the camera, and the van is further away from the shot, therefore would measure less due to such... But with that being said, they aren't putting in posts, they are acid washing the concrete, so it's a debate that doesn't really meean anything anyway.

Check my last note. Highlighted for clarity.
In any case, at every measurement I've leaned on the side of the van being wider and the opening being smaller, and despite that it still fits.
Or to put it another way, the 3 px difference is assuming the van comes through crooked with the back doors open =P
