This newsletter marks the inception of a series of newsletters that will be periodically sent out to clients to update and advise of recent legal and transportation issues in New York City that will affect the trucking industry. Each issue will highlight two important issues that pertain to the trucking industry. I hope you find these newsletters informative and useful.

Be aware of designated qualifying and access highways in New York City! Do not get stopped on the Cross-Bronx Expressway!

The New York City interstate routes approved for 53 foot trailers are as follows:

• I 95 - between Bronx-Westchester County line and I 295
• I 295 - between I 695 and I 495 via Throgs Neck Bridge
• I 495 - between I 295 and Queens-Nassau County line

The Cross-Bronx Expressway, which is also designated as I 95, is NOT a qualifying highway.

Parking Rules and Regulations

Parking in New York City can be a hassle if you don’t know where to park. Parking fines can accumulate and cause numerous headaches to transportation drivers but if you know the rules you can easily avoid them. The range of parking fines can go as high as $115.00 as well as possible penalties that can be added to that fine. The easiest way to avoid needless parking tickets is to visit the New York City Department of Transportation website for Commercial Parking information at http://home.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/parking/commpark.html.

Check the status of your parking tickets online!
