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:

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.

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 constantly double parked on Ashland causing chaos with cars and bikes both going both ways
The entire Fourth-Atlantic-Flatbush-Barclays intersection has so much truck traffic blocking crosswalks that it's dangerous for pedestrians to cross -- often weaving between giant trucks with no visibility
Extreme truck traffic at the Flatbush-Atlantic-4th intersection -- disappearing lanes, including bike lanes, creates a very dangerous situation for bikers (and pedestrians)
Trucks treat this stretch of Flatbush as a drag strip heading toward the Manhattan Bridge
Trucks turning left from Canal surprise pedestrians and cause visibility issues
Trucks turning left up and down Canal are dangerous for pedestrians + cause other cars to drive like fools
Canal St is a mess of double parked trucks -- car parking should be removed on Canal so trucks can load/unload and keep flow moving
Myrtle bike lane disappears crossing Flatbush competing dangerously with truck traffic
Overweight trucks are exiting the BQE on Tillary street to avoid the $650 overweight camera installed. Since going in effect an extremely large number of trucks are now flooding Tillary and Adam streets causing traffic, noise and environmental pollution to the area. There are schools in the area. Even NYC department of Sanitation advised their employees to exit the BQE and take local streets to avoid the $650 overweight camera. This has to be fixed
Really heavy trucks speeding hitting potholes and making a lot of noise. This is a residential area
