<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Absolutely not.</strong> Storrow Drive, Memorial Drive, and Soldiers Field Road are restricted to "cars only" with height restrictions as low as 9 feet in some locations. Commercial trucks, moving trucks, and any vehicle over 10 feet tall are prohibited.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">The Reality:</strong> Getting "Storrowed" (stuck under a bridge) is Boston's most predictable traffic disaster. Massachusetts State Police respond to multiple truck-bridge collisions annually, especially during September 1st move-in day when college students attempt to navigate rental trucks through the city's parkway system.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> Enhanced signage and variable message boards have been installed at all entry points, with increased enforcement during peak moving periods. GPS companies and truck rental agencies have been contacted to improve route guidance for commercial vehicles.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What happens if I get "Storrowed"?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Massachusetts State Police will respond to assist with safe backing procedures. You'll face traffic citations, potential vehicle damage, and liability for any bridge damage. The incident may also make local news as "Storrowing" is a notorious Boston occurrence.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Are there exceptions for delivery trucks?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Package delivery and garbage trucks may access residential streets for local deliveries, but height restrictions on parkways still apply. Commercial vehicles must use designated truck routes for through traffic.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Do I need special permits for Boston deliveries?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Moving truck permits are not required but guarantee reserved parking spaces. Oversized loads require special permits from MassDOT. Commercial vehicles operating within normal size limits don't need permits for routine deliveries.</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">How do I avoid height restriction violations?</h3>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Know your vehicle's exact height, use truck-specific GPS systems, observe all posted signage, and when in doubt, find an alternative route. The universal rule: if you don't know the clearance, don't guess.</p>
