“Move-in weekend in particular is a time before the start of school when we see an increase in overheight vehicle crashes – avoidable incidents which can be prevented if drivers travel at a safe speed and read roadway signs.” “MassDOT encourages drivers to check the posted heights of overhead structures when approaching them and plan routes ahead of time to avoid roadways known for low clearance,” said Secretary and CEO of Transportation Jamey Tesler. “When renting moving vehicles, drivers should confirm roadway height restrictions and plan routes ahead of time to ensure a smooth moving experience and to minimize injuries and structural damage to our roadways.” “We want everyone to be as safe as possible as students return to the Boston area to move into their housing for the coming school year,” said Department of Conservation and Recreation Commissioner Doug Rice. Moving trucks, box trucks, and moving vans will exceed this height limit and drivers of these vehicles should seek alternate routes. These parkways include Storrow Drive and Soldiers Field Road in the City of Boston, and Memorial Drive in the City of Cambridge, which are restricted to “cars only” and have height restrictions as low as nine feet in some locations. Boston - State officials from the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), and Massachusetts State Police (MSP) are reminding college students, residents, and others of height restrictions along several parkways in the Greater Boston area as they move-in to residence halls, apartments, and other living spaces.
