Nyc : Directions: if you know some of the local streets

Ive been a driver for 13 months, call it a good thing or bad thing a bad thing but i never been In NYC. I passed through. I KNOW sooner or later its gonna come up, especially now, as i am a local nj trucker. I have been study the map for months, writing in low clearances here and there. Even drawing where the train tressels are on my map. if you been there, and know some turn by turns that got you to a certain street or turn by turn that got you back out of the city, please share with me. Im going crazy over this!! Thanks!

 

Yep ive got it, looking it over, but you know some of the truck routes on it, the red & blue lines, have low clearances. 10 ft & 11 ft tressels pass over some of those truck routes.

 

Yep got that too.. lol i appreciated their free map, but it makes no sense to makethat map when you cant use some of those truck routes. Look at that map, the blue line says local truck route, it says we can use queens boro bridge, but that clearance is 8'5, it has red line for williamsburg bridge meaning through truck route, but williamsburg bridge is also truck restricted. In brooklyn, it says we can take cropsey, but a tressel passes that way with low clearance. I know nyc is hard and confusing, but nevertheless, its a city like any other. If we just know Where to turn, nyc wont be that bad.

 

Well if ifigureout some fool proof directions i will be sure to post them for everyone else, low clearances arent everywhere in the city. So there has got to be some routes worth sticking to. I see alot of other local drivers from bronx, brooklyn driving next to me on njtpk, so i know they know...if i get the chance to ask them at a rest stop

 

On this map that you can order for free http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/mot...prequest.shtml it says you can go over a few bridges that YOU CANT, example: It says we can go through brooklyn battery tunnel, williamsburg bridge, manhattan bridge, Trucks can ONLY use GW bridge or Verrazano. NO Tunnels, No parkways. I still took the liberty to take this map and personalize it, looking up on google maps & google earth to get a street veiw level of the streets for low clearances and most of the blue colored local streets check out fine!
