Oh The Irony!

Parkways are also parkways for their clearance heights.

 

 

That's not 100% true. The Garden State Parkway has pretty high overpasses. The Atlantic City buses use it. The double decker Van Hools on Megabus use the Baltimore-Washington Parkway. Even though trucks are prohibited, there's nothing that physically prevents trucks from using it.

"Parkways" mean no commercial vehicles, even if you drive a small car with commercial plates. Even if you drive a van with no windows but have regular plates your considered a commercial vehicle. Buses are allowed on the parkways because they carry passengers. But certain parkways don't even allow buses on them at certain points, i.e the FDR drive.

 

But Utopia parkway in queens is not a real parkway, but its a truck route.

Fort hamy parkway, Little neck pkwy ect ect. Its very confusing for alot of guys who've never driven in nyc.

 

The grand central parkway allow's commercial vehicles and trucks under 12'6 and 3 axles on it from the bqe to the tri-boro and the opposite direction.

 

If you get caught by the police, its probably a no truck route ticket wich is a 2 point ticket. But the city has a big scam going on. Now they don't have to post signs where trucks arent allowed, so If you get caught on a street thats not a truck route but theres no sign, you get banged out, and the courts exuse is "call 311 and get a nyc truck route map, as a driver its your responsibility" GUILTY. all b.s

1. Yeah, and it surely would make a truck park painfully...

 

2. So he got a ticket, that is an ouch...

 

 

 

Well, depends on how knowledgable a truck driver is, if a truck driver would go down a Parkway without any knowledge of the bridge clearence, that driver would sure be waiting to become stuck. Like if I were a truck driver and going down the NSP, I would know to exit at the Wantaugh Pkwy, if I were a truck driver without the knowledge of the NSP, I'd be deadstuck under the Wantaugh Pkwy Overpass.

 

If you were on the n.parkway why would you exit onto another parkway????????

Please get behind the wheel so I can watch that on the news.

After exit 100 trucks are allowed on the garden state parkway going south.

From route 18, How do I know this because I've been there done that.

If this is true then half the vehicles using the Brooklyn Bridge don't belong there. Vans with commercial plates are all over the bridge.

well they sneak on but you get caught its not good.

I used to work for Ridge towing in bk 9 years ago and the stories I have of trucks getting on the belt parkway from the gowanus (bqe) going south is incredible

I've seen from trailers ripping the entire roofs off to a car carriers destroying brand new cars the they were hauling to dealerships. And a mess like that cost at least 10 to $15,000 to the company for cleanup and tow.

 

I've seen the cops have to back tractor trailers off the on ramp from the bqe to the brooklyn bridge right before they caused a major catastrophe.
