Where does it say low bridge?
I see "passenger cars only" and a red slash through a commercial box truck.
If that doesn't mean/say no oversized vehicles to you. We are in trouble. If you read the signage and proceed with your RV in tow or driving an oversized vehicle you should not be driving.
My question was to intheburbs, whose comment said there were low bridge signs on the entrance ramps.
But really, just because you or I would see that signage and say "nope, not for me" does not mean there aren't people who miss the signs, or are blindly following a GPS, or just do it anyway. If something can happen, it will.
Murphy's Law.
"Passenger Cars Only" seems pretty descriptive to me.
At least the upside is that most of the overpasses are cobblestone and solid as a brick you-know-what. Can pretty much put them in the "immovable object" class, and most vehicles, even semis, are not in the "irresistible force" class. So they rarely suffer any damage when a truck/bus/RV hits one.
ETA: Here's a link to the brochure NY State puts out regarding the parkways:
