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

Trucks use Porter to cut through to the BQE when it is a narrow small street should become a one way.
Many oversized trucks in a residential area with a lot of kids walking to schools nearby. Observed trucks blocking crosswalks.
Trucks right from Church Ave to go south on Coney Island Ave regularly drive up onto the sidewalk, taking out traffic lights, walk signals, bus stop signs, and causing dangerous chaos for this busy street corner that has multiple bus stops and a popular pizzeria. Trucks speed through and make crazy turns.
Vandervoort needs red cameras so many trucks running lights and with deliveries unloading for businesses it’s becoming more of a nightmare.
This is a narrow road often lined with school busses for the elementary and middle school. Large trucks trying to pass cause an increase in danger to oncoming traffic and schoolchildren
Traffic with trucks is unbearable trucks speed and run lights.
The new design for traffic to turn from Vandervoort onto meeker is ridiculous.
Kingsland Ave is a joke - enforcement is laughable. You could install a red light camera at the intersection of Nassau and Kingsland and no doubt it would be issuing easily 100 tickets per day for probably the first month or two until truck drivers caught on. The problem with this is that the fine wouldn't be enough to slow them down. Reverse the streets direction. Easy, cheap fix.
The intersection at Nassau Ave and Kingsland Ave is extraordinarily dangerous. The largest trucks that are allowed on city streets drive extremely fast and are constantly observed running the red light here. I've been nearly hit on multiple occasions as has my son. A simple fix could be to simply reverse the direction of the street. People have died here and on nearby streets and people will die here and on nearby streets.
No trucks can turn if they are big on wolcott and van brunt they get stuck! Get the trucks off van brunt street is going to kill us with exhaust
