The street is too narrow to allow tractor trailers to pass when buses are dropping off/picking up riders. It creates truck back ups leading to air and noise pollution.
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

There are so many large trucks speeding down the street past the school and they have to take wide turns to get off met ave and I’ve seen them clip parked cars when they take the turn on to Graham Ave. Overall a very dangerous amount of truck traffic!
There are too many trucks speeding on Atlantic, especially at the interestions of Atlantic and Clinton and Atlantic and Henry Street.
Way too many huge trucks drive on Metropolitan given a school is located here, and there is heavy pedestrian traffic in this area. Decreasing the amount of truck traffic would greatly improve quality of life around this area.
Metropolitan avenue goes through a busy residential part of Williamsburg and yet it has a huge volume of semi trucks on a daily basis. It’s especially dangerous for cyclists using the road way.
Trucks are often driving very fast leaving little room for cyclists. Trucks are also consistently going through red lights making it dangerous for pedestrians, especially school children since there is a school on this street.
I see huge semi trucks speeding through yellow/red lights on metropolitan avenue on a daily basis. It’s an extremely busy intersection.
