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

Trucks speed up and down Maspeth to skip Metropolitan Ave traffic lights or get to Kingsland or Bushwick to skip Morgan and Meeker.
Cardinal food trucks block one lane on vandervoort Ave on both sides of the street and make it difficult to pass.
Truck speed through the light on vandervoort Ave daily
Catering company on Beadel block the street all day long causing traffic and disruption
Trucks constantly speed here and damage cars on the corner. Additionally they run red lights coming from Richardson St to Kingsland. We need speed bumps or prevent trucks on Richardson and re route them to meeker instead.
Extremely unsafe for families with kids to cross this intersection.
Regular aggression exhibited by truck drivers coming through intersection and across pedestrian signal to make turns after light has changed to red. Honking at pedestrians in crosswalk, speeding to make the turn after their light has changed to red (so turning against the red light), and dangerous speeding through intersection before their light to continue along Atlantic Ave has turned green (building up high speeds in segments and then not wanting to slow to stop for the remainder of the red light).
Extremely dangerous intersection that does not need increased truck traffic but LESS heavy vehicles. Main entrance to the Brooklyn bridge park is through this intersection with lots of pedestrians. It is scary to cross with (or without) kids!
horrible truck back up and parking that causes dangerous situation for walking and biking, trucks should not come down sullivan street or conover
Trucks blocking intersection and speeding. Too many trucks considering this is a neighborhood street with many families and kids crossing to get to the local schools
