Posted by Lord Vader on Thu Jul 17 20:00:39 2008, in response to Since when are buses allowed on the Parkways?, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Wed Jul 16 14:18:59 2008. I've always seen buses on parkways but within certain sections. Seen them on the Belt between Cropsey Ave and the BQE/Gowanus merge, the Grand Central between the Triboro and LGA but I never thought a bus could navigate the Jackie Robinson-nee the Interboro because of the sharp curves and narrow roadway, especially in the Cypress Hill/Evergreen vicinity. Only once I saw a bus on the Palisades Pkwy which I found odd. Westcode44 made a good point about parkways that happen to be very true, especially when refering to the Merritt Pkwy. He always said that because of fewer lanes, one accident can actually blow up a parkway for miles, end to end even and Interstates are usually the way to go. I saw another post regarding someone seeing a bus on the Taconic and all I can say is that bus driver would have been nutz to take on that road with a bus. When traveling Upstate on fishing trips, I-684 was our run even though it took us 18 miles from the Hudson. Nowadays we use the Taconic but I always felt safer on 684. Some sections and turn-offs on the Taconic are too narrow and sharp for my comfort.Vader |
