Driving a tow truck in Clifton: the roads, the lots, the calls
Clifton is about 38 minutes on a normal day, longer at rush hour from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Route 21, Main Avenue / Clifton Avenue and Valley Road / Van Houten Avenue and the town's own streets and lots.
A big, spread-out city of neighborhoods on both sides of the Parkway and Route 3, with the Route 46 and Route 21 retail strips, the Allwood and Botany Village sections, and Montclair State on the ridge. Commuter cars, family SUVs and delivery trucks; the Parkway, Route 3 and Route 46 interchanges generate constant highway calls.
Driveways in most sections, tight curbside parking in Botany and Lakeview, and big open lots on Route 3 and Route 46. Montclair Heights streets are steep and narrow for a flatbed.

Runs along the Passaic River on the east side toward Passaic and Newark; high speed with almost no shoulder.
Main Avenue / Clifton Avenue
The city's own main streets through Botany, downtown and toward Passaic.
Valley Road / Van Houten Avenue

Garden State Parkway
Exits 153, 154 and 155 serve the city; the Route 3 interchange at 153 backs up daily and the shoulders are narrow.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Clifton station (NJ Transit Main Line), Delawanna station (Main Line) and Allwood park-and-ride are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
