No commercial traffic allowed on those roads and you should be thankful you didn't get a ticket or ruin your rig.

Actually, the airline said the Montana was too big for carry-on from Denver, so I left it home and rented a Mercury at JFK instead. It fit fine under the low bridges but I did wonder how the New Yorkers maneuvered their rigs around on those parkways (Southern Pkwy, Meadowbrook Pkwy, POW/MIA Memorial Pkwy). I assume there are alternate routes? or do you just not do that on Long Island?

As far as getting a ticket, I don't think anybody gets tickets in NY for anything that has to do with driving. Within 5 minutes of entering the highway and 10 horn honks later, it was quickly gestured to me through the window of a Accura by a really mad lady that there should NEVER be an airgap between me and the car in front of me!
