The Garbage State Parkway was o.k. when it was built, I guess, but even in the 70s it was too narrow and had bad sight lines.

My husband used to drive up it any day he didn't take the train to work.

I could see how somebody could be VERY surprised by an overtaking vehicle doing 90 plus. If you were on one of those short curves, you wouldn't see it until it was right on top of you.

Yes, it was “modern” in the 1930s but quite narrow and winding by standards of the later Interstate Highway system. NY, CT, and NJ have some of those 1930s era “parkways” with bad shoulders, low narrow stone bridges, bad sight lines and curves, etc. They were good 70 years ago compared to the alternatives, but they are quite substandard for any driving over 40-50 mph.

The poor kid in the Red Pick up. I bet he was scared to death on the highway.

Then scared to death he would be prosecuted.

Then Insulted, with the state police saying he was not intelligent enough to know he caused the crashed, so they let him go.

That kid is now having the last laugh!!!!
