    I believe you guys about ignoring the sign, but my past history with law enforcement proves I will be the exception every time ! I mean if they ticket one guy a year, that guy would be me.

    DANNY the Atlantic--Flatbush is easier specially ifn u do not no ur way---But please pay attention now
    1-when u pass the prospect exit on 278 the road swings hard right & up a bridge•-BE IN THE RITE LANE the road splits just ahead-top of bridge&278 goes back to the rite--the left&ctr lanes go into a No truck tunnel--as u approach the split an on ramp comes up on ur rite and makes 278s rite lane--as u head into the rite hand curve 278 is only 2 lanes goin into the pit BEWARE all the reg drivers use both lanes thru that curve--once downstairs another on ramp comes in immediately and forms the 3d----AtlanticAve is the First Exit u come to once it is 3 lanes again--comes up quick and folks come on that ramp pretty quick and its barely 1/4 mile to Ur exit
    2-once on Atlantic--after bout 1/2 mile the road seperates and the subway comes up& runs above u--you have plenty of room--BUT WATCH THE EDGE OF THE LEFT LANE--the bridge supports above curve out to the top--and in couple of spots U CAN HIT THEM--So allow at least 3 ft between u and left curb u will be fine--and ENJOY the ride thru one of NYC most picturesque areas!! LMAO
    You can handle it

    thanks for the tips. I was hoping to get in early but that's out of the question at this point 4:30 am and I'm still a couple hours out, so I'm gonna grab some zzzz's so maybe I'll be a little alert. I'm beat !

    They even closed down the Large Base there Governors Island

    Talking about NY Bagels, yummy I was stationed on GI and lived over on Staten Island 185 St Johns place. I would leave my apartment, walk to the Staten Island ferry stopping at the corner Begal shop to eat while on the ferry. Only good thing about NYC and only thing I miss other going to the top of the WTC
     
    Marksteven Thanks this.

    Is that a real 12'2 or an NY 12'2? Brooklyn Bridge underpass on BQE is posted 12'2 and a 13'6 fits under it.
