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

Trucks are driving through the 50th Ave of Sunnyside and there is a school along with many families and elderly people. Trucks continue to come here even after several 311 calls/complaints. Please fix this issue.
Trucks double park all day long blocking the road and cars.
Trucks hit the bridge for the train/rail all the time height keeps changing
No pedestrian walkway. Trucks take wide turns here often barely missing pedestrians.
Experienced cyclist and truck almost crashed several times
Because of limited curb access their is limited visibility, people hang out in that area making it feel unsafe
Trucks park here and drop off trash, making it difficult to walk
Major crossing intersection for tourists/pedestrians to get to the Brooklyn Bridge stairs. This intersection is also a traffic nightmare with the bridge + BQE routes, trucks blow through stoplights to get on BQE. Seen many people and bikes caught in dangerous situations here.
Trucks speed down Furman and then create unsafe conditions along the road and at the turn onto Old Fulton.
Trucks on Old Fulton lead to excessive congestion on a street that already has excessive traffic from the BQE and Brooklyn Bridge access routes. This leads to idling, unhealthy air and especially noise from honking trucks.
