The Long Island Motor Parkway, also known as the Vanderbilt Parkway, Vanderbilt Motor Parkway, or Motor Parkway, was a roadway on Long Island, New York, in the United States. It was the first roadway designed for automobile use only. The parkway was privately built by William Kissam Vanderbilt II with overpasses and bridges to remove most intersections. It officially opened on October 10, 1908. It closed in 1938 when it was taken over by the state of New York in lieu of back taxes. Parts of the parkway survive today, used as sections of other roadways or as a bicycle trail.

Automobilrennen um den Vanderbilt Cup fanden , und statt, ein erneuter schwerer Unfall mit vier toten Zuschauern führte aber schon 1910 zum Verbot von Straßenrennen im Staate New York. (de)
