New York State Parkways Rules and Regulations – FAQ
I was wondering if I could legally drive my truck on the Taconic Parkway. I have passenger plates, but with the cap and the rack, the height of my truck is about 8 1/2 - 9 foot.
It turns out I can still drive parkways, as the legal limit height for non-commercial vehicle is 10 feet including any thing on the roof rack, but I do have to pay attention to which parkways which I drive on as many have lower clearances then that. For example, Southern State Parkway on Long Island has bridges that 6 foot 11 inches, so I would be prohibited on that one, at least on posted sections.
