We Want Your Input on NYC's Truck Route Network

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

Vandervoort Ave - Beadel St - Brooklyn

Regina caterers at 86 Beadel street block the street of Vandervoort between Division and Lombardy causing excessive trucks honking and disrupting the residential street of Beadel. Truck traffic becomes unbearable trying to get to the BQE. Trucks run the red lights constantly.

Metropolitan Ave - Olive St - Catherine St - Brooklyn

Particularly in the early morning hours, large trucks speed down Metropolitan Avenue and sound like explosions when they hit potholes or rough patches. Generally, it seems truck traffic has picked up. With all the new construction between Morgan and Graham, there will be many more pedestrians than ever. Bad mix for a truck route.

Humboldt St - Ten Eyck Walk - Maujer St

Trucks speed down Humbolt from the BQE or Meeker to get to flushing without many traffic signals. I have witnessed many pedestrian and bicycle near misses as they and all the cars following them plow through those streets and miss stop signs.
