re: #108 makeitstop

My wife told me about this accident when I woke up this morning.

The bus was on the Southern State Parkway, which was built for cars - there is a strict rule that no trucks or buses are allowed on the parkway because most of them can’t get under the overpasses. It’s pretty routine to have out of state drivers take trucks on the parkway and they always end up getting stuck trying to get under an overpass.

The story said the driver wasn’t from LI. If he had been he would have known not to take a goddamn bus on the Southern Parkway.

Do they have signs, or height bars on the entrances to give warning to the vehicles drivers that don’t know the dangers? Of course that won’t prevent all the issues. I was just wondering if NY state gives them clear warning and how they back up the strict rules?
