Hi,
I am moving from Boston to East meadow. I will be driving Uhaul 17 truck. I need to find out what route should i be taking. Per the google map, i have to take Cross Island Pkwy as well as Northern Sate PKWY and Wantag Sate PKWY. I am not sure whether i can take the Pkwy or not and if not then what direction would i be following. I am very confused. Please help me if anyone can.

Thanks

Parkways do not allow any trucks such as uhaul. You will get a ticket if you drive on the parkway.

I would say go through 95 to 695 to 295 then 495
Get off at 41S (Levittown) Jerusalem Ave, turn to Newbridge Road to East Meadow.

Here you go, I made a route

No, you won't.

Commercial vehicles are not allowed on parkways, and that UHaul is a commercial truck. I drive a full sized service van with commercial plates, and can't take them either.

I live in Bellmore, which is south of East Meadow. When I come home on the LIE (I495), I take exit 39, follow the service road to Post Rd, and take it south. It turns into Merrick Ave and goes through East Meadow.

No commercial vehicles are permitted on the Cross Island Parkway, the Northen State Parkway or the Wantagh Parkway. Follow the directions provided by JB from NC. Google is giving you directions for a car, not a commercial vehicle.

And if you do you will be taking a hefty hit to you wallet. No truck on the parkways. You have one choice which is the Cross to the LIE and follow th perviously given directions. There are other ways of going but this is the quickest in terms of no lights.

Are you trying to screw the guy? He cannot take the Cross Island but must stay on 295 which becomes the Clearview Expressway coming off the Throgs Neck Bridge. Then he gets on the LIE. I'd take it to exit 39 like JB does.

Can't take the Cross Island either. It's a parkway as well, no commercial vehicles.
