N.Y. Bridge Heights and laws regarding going under some of them.

NY does everything bass ackwards. Exit markers are reverse of the rest of the country and don't follow mile markers, bridge clearances don't match bridge clearances, up is down, left is right... and so on.

NY and CA... the two states that should be expelled so the rest of us can live in peaceful bliss.

 

Exactly! Just went under a bridge in upstate NY and the bridge was marked 13’ 10.” I was creeping under it because I didn’t even want to touch it. I had traffic behind me honking, which I just ignore and do whatever I feel comfortable doing.

 

If you have a 53' trailer, technically, you shouldn't be in NYC anyways. Seems that laws are made to be broken when it comes to trucks.

 

There's a law against anything it seems. You're just figuring this out?

 

Idiots rule the world. Why even mark it? Hey that guy is 6 feet tall so let’s say he’s 5 foot..

It’s like the old saying…

 

NYC DOT - Trucks and Commercial Vehicles

 

Depends on which part because there's a lot of New York City that isn't just Manhattan. I kind of wonder how they expect to get trucks into all the warehouses down in Long Island City where the exit leads to a 12 ft 6 marked clearance but that's the only way to get in. Not to mention that I-95 goes straight through the city.

 

Im not sure I understand. Ignoring New York, why would you creep a 13'6" trailer under a bridge with 13'10" clearance?

 

they found one that’s right height compared to sign?
