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
Speeding Truck: Locations where trucks are observed speeding along the street or intersection
Health and Environmental Impact: Locations with air quality, general health, and environmental concerns

Cars and trucks both speed through red lights
Delivery trucks double park blocking the lane. This causes chaos in right in front of an elementary school!
There are so many oversized 53' trailers getting stuck on Van Brunt. They often run cyclists off of the road and get stuck making turns blocking pedestrians.
There is a stretch of Van Brunt from here until Bowne Street with no traffic lights or crosswalks (6 blocks), which allows trucks to speed. It is also along the B61 bus route - so anyone who gets off the bus within those blocks has to cross a dangerous street with speeding trucks with no crosswalks.
No loading zone on one lane, one-way residential/commercial/industrial street with a bus route. The buses are blocked numerous times daily when trucks make their deliveries. There is so much street parking that the trucks have to stop in the middle of the roadway. This is also the main route to the Pulaski so has more traffic than neighboring side streets, increasing congestion during the day.
Loud, speeding, and disruptive trucks here! It is hazard to pedestrians and bicyclists!
Trucks are extremely aggressive towards pedestrians here with little regard for the crosswalk across Meeker. They frequently ignore when the pedestrian walk sign is on or don't see it at all
Trucks park in lanes and curbs when will they get tickets for blocking the road sidewalks and pedestrians.
Trucks use one lane on both sides of Vandervoort Ave as a loading zone. This is a truck route and causes congestion and frustration everyday at all hours. This should not be a loading zone. Regina caterers should move away from this area.
Truck block the intersection or run the lights making it difficult for the residents to cross Vandervoort Ave.
