Reply to comment by netscorer1 in Moving truck getting on Merritt South by mynameisnotshamus

There are options in Google, Waze, TomTom to avoid roads that prohibit commercial trucks.

But, as always, how many times have you seen vans, panel trucks, or any truck/SUV etc with commercial plates on the Merritt Parkway?

I guess they feel they can get on, go several exits and get off without being pulled over by state police.

Then the U-Hauls, Hertz, or any "moving" type truck with towing a trailer do you see?

If it's not those, it's landscapers who travel the Merritt with or without trailers.

On a positive note, down near between Norwalk and Westport the work they are doing to widen the parkway sure helps as opposed to going door handle to door handle widths.😁 👍

Google doesn't have this option, I checked Google and "Maps" is for "pleasure vehicles" only.

But, some roads show restricted in Google Maps.

Not sure with Waze.

I had to take a small trailer to NJ a couple years ago and it was not easy knowing where I could and couldn’t be driving in an unknown area using Waze. I was hoping they added something.
