    This is a good example of reading reviews for where you’re going. Using an atlas and hammer app.since it gives truck restricted roads. Combined with a truck gps. Should be enough info to get there safely.

    Actually as well as Manhattan is grided it’s quite ez and with the exception of the West Side Hiway&FDR drive it’s easily navigable
    Much more than the Bronx or Brooklyn

    Except for how tight it is. And then you turn down a tight street and somebody opens their car door into your trailer duals for some reason.

    The roadz in itself are easy. But add all the ########, and it no longer is a breeze. No trucks on the FDR or west side highway (except the surface section), and the west side highway should have been a real multi level highway already and the FDR extended to over the sea.

    That's hardly news for literally ANYBODY within a 500 mile radius of NYC......Anything in NY state over 13'6" requires an oversize permit...
