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

Massive trucks beyond the weight allowed go up and down Caton emitting pollution. The larger trucks have difficulty navigating turns, creating a danger for pedestrians and cyclists
Address is 35 McDonald Avenue between 10th Avenue and Terrace Place. We are a residential building built and opened in June 2007 and the building next door has an address on Terrace Place. Prior to both of our buildings being built, the lot was a bus depot. We have trucks and trailers parking overnight and for the weekends. Truck drivers sleep in refrigerated trucks with the trucks idling and creating a noisy environment in our units which are in the front of our building. I am awoken to clanging, trucks idling, etc. I have gone to community meetings and have the cell phones for my community officers. This has been occurring since 2007 with intermittent responses.
Trucks speeding on Furman St downshift to reduce speed, causing noise pollution and risking safety of pedestrians in a zone no longer used for commercial use.
The school crossing guard is incredible but even she cannot prevent all of the large semis double parking in the intersection BY AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL and SENIOR CENTER. Roebling needs to be removed from the truck route immediately.
The image even shows 3 illegally parks emergency vehicles in the pedestrian path. This is across from a school where children walk. This is extremely unsafe. There is designated parking across the street but personal vehicles from New Jersey are parked there. Do better keeping our children safe from traffic violence.
Grand army plaza is very difficult to navigate as a pedestrian and cyclist especially with children.
Way way way too many close calls here with speeding trucks near a school, senior center and so close to thousands of residential apartments. Close the Roebling on ramp immediately. Then you can connect the park space and make the south side more livable. It is not safe for children to play at this park.
This intersection is incredibly dangerous for cyclists with trucks (and cars) exceeding the speed limit and running through lights
Large semi trucks turn onto this last block of berry open street regularly. Berry street is not a truck route but truck drivers must be confused. Will there be updates to how truck route information is shared and enforced? The official route maps are fine but large truck operators CONSISTENTLY break the rules and drive off route.
I’m surprised N 12 isn’t a truck route. I see large trucks and semis driving here almost daily as I commute along Berry Open Street. No truck routes should cross the open street.
