I fully agree that the driver in this case was at least partly at fault. But I will be surprised if the injured passengers don't join both the bus company and the relevant governmental entity as defendants in the upcoming litigation, seeking to hold them both liable.
I am also surprised, frankly, that there are no NHTSA standards requiring clearer warning signs at the parkway entrances. To put it another way, whenever you see a sign that says, "No Commercial Traffic," does that always mean "No RVs?"
And of course, for those of you who live near parkways, you know what the word means. For those of us from states where the word just means "yet another road, maybe with some trees," it is news to me that the hidden meaning is "low vehicles only."
If you Google the word "parkway," this is what first comes up: "an open landscaped highway." Nothing about low bridges.
How is a tourist from another country supposed to know the other secret meaning? What if you fly into New York, rent an RV, hit the road, and hit a bridge? Do they not have tourists on Long Island?
