The NYC Truck Route Network is a system of designated roads that helps commercial vehicles navigate the city efficiently. It aims to:
Connect primary freight origins and destinations.
Maximize access to industrial and commercial zones.
Minimize conflicts with residential areas and vulnerable road users.
This network is crucial for supporting the local economy and livability by:
Organizing neighborhood truck activity
Reducing traffic congestion on non-designated routes
Feedback Guidance:
We want to hear from you, help us identify how and where we can improve the movement of trucks on our city streets.
Options for feedback:
Confusing Truck Route Signage: A Unclear or inaccurate posted truck route signage
Missing Truck Route Signage: A lack of adequate signage to help guide trucks to and along designated truck routes.
Poor network connection: Areas with inadequate truck route network connectivity, often leading truck drivers to deviate from designated truck routes.
Weight & Height Restrictions: Overweight and/ or over-dimensional trucks are often observed.
Limited Curb Access: Trucks observed blocking moving, bike, or bus lanes; or have limited access to curbs for loading and unloading purposes.
Narrow Roadway: Limitations by the physical characteristics of the street, such as narrow roadway
Difficult Truck Turn: Limitations by the physical characteristics of the street, such as sharp turns
Maintenance Needed: Substandard road conditions, such as potholes, uneven surfaces, or lack of maintenance.
Limited Truck Parking: Shortage of designated parking spaces for trucks.
Observed Bicyclist and Truck Conflict: Observed locations where multiple incidents of bicycle and truck conflicts occurred
Observed Pedestrian and Truck Conflict: Observed locations where multiple incidents of pedestrian and truck conflicts occurred

Dangerous and reckless turns all the time. Extremely loud honking and cursing people out
Speeding while kids were trying to cross the street!
Along much of the length of smith st between carroll gardens all the way to downtown brooklyn, street parking takes up two lanes of road. One of those lanes of street parking is adjacent to a bike lane and has been the cause of several dooring incidents between truckers unloading in shops and people on bicycles. Please remove all street parking from smith st, add explicit truck loading/unloading zones, and a real protected bike lane.
Trucks barrel down the side streets of Greenpoint from the construction sites along the water. They run red and yellow light, honk at all hours of the day and night, get stuck on smaller residential (NON TRUCK streets) and honk and pollute more. Are very loud and dangerous. These are already No Truck routes but the police do NOTHING to stop the ILLEGAL TRUCKS. That, and Action Waste has nearly killed so many people. I have nearly been killed by them 6 times in a few years. They are always speeding. Turn left on a RED light while going 58 mph. NEED TO: Install sound and speed cameras, ticket loud cars and trucks speeding and barreling down small streets. Station police to enforce NON TRUCK routes. RAISE THE FINES and the city will have more money to pay the police to enforce the Trucks. Simple Logic.
Completely inadequate truck parking for businesses on N.10, N.11, and Berry Streets - trucks are parked in the middle of the road on a near daily basis.
Many off route trucks — 18 wheelers sometimes! — on Clinton Street, perhaps avoiding BQE backups. Dangerous, unable to make turns anywhere on small streets, tight corners. Polluting, outsized, unable to see pedestrians, et c.
Trucks are regularly parked on or over the bike lane, which is protected in some parts and sometimes becomes impossible to exit due depending on where the truck parked.
When I'm riding my bike east on Metropolitan I turn onto Orient and ride against traffic to get to Cooper Park, because Metro is so dangerous!
Very narrow turn for trucks to navigate safely without damaging parked vehicles.
Turn very narrow for a truck to make, sometimes cause traffic backups if truck cannot make the turn
