intheburbs, since you have been on site, are there sufficient warning signs at each entrance, so that RV drivers are not likely to make a fatal error?
Yes, every single one, and the signs on major highways that dump onto the parkways have large/obvious signage declaring low clearance bridges and no commercial vehicles.
Bear in mind, the Parkway system is not just Long Island. It extends north of NYC into the downstate counties like Westchester, Putnam, Ulster, Orange, etc. The Taconic, Sprain, Bronx River, etc are all north of the City, and have similar height restrictions. The Taconic actually runs all the way to the Thruway (I-90) just east of Albany.
This is the entrance ramp closest to that 7' 7" bridge:

ETA: This is what the signage looks like on major highways, like the Long Island Expressway:
