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

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.
High volume of large trucks battling for space with bikes and pedestrian at intersection and along metropolitan
Trucks driving really fast often having to break really hard at the lights. Busy street with lot of school kids makes it very dangerous. Streets are also not the biggest for large trucks to turn
Uneven road causing loud sounds from large trucks
When traffic is backed up on Kingsland this becomes a cut-through turn corridor from (Meeker Ave) with poor visibility. Vehicles often drive aggressively here.
Large turning trucks sometimes get stuck at this intersection, blocking traffic on Kingsland Avenue.
Oversize and other trucks, including concrete mixers, sometimes drive down Driggs Ave through a residential area.
