[QUOTE="bluebiker, post: 1326981, member: 18898"] Was probably one of the Parkways on Long Island, in NY trucks are allowed on Expressways, not Parkways. The LIE is RT 495 part of the interstate system, unless marked bridges on interstates are at least 14' 6". NY's system of measurement is weird, I was told once if the height sign is yellow to add the 18" and if white it's the actual height. Although it seems you can't find anything official about it. There's one building in Brooklyn and the route has you go under two bridges marked 13'. The feeder directions tell you that you clear, and you do. I've seen other trailers pass under and they look like they have at least 6" to clear. Just adds to the joy of feeder driving. I was routed to a customer pickup, I'm driving down the road and came up on a bridge in NJ marked 13'. I pulled over to the side of the road and then watched a CVS trailer pass under it with plenty of room to spare. [/QUOTE]
