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

Bad pedestrian AND bike signage on cross intersections, causing encroachment from trucks and cars onto bike and crosswalks. Needs serious redesign and enforcement given chaos around Atlantic Avenue
horrible truck speeding at all hours in addition to dangerous turns made onto side streets
Lots of heavy duty, large speeding trucks that make my walls shake
Constantly trucks running through lights and speeding past pedestrian crossings. Especially dangerous given the two super busy stations at Lorimer and Metro/Union
Trucks regularly drive well over the speed limit in order to make the next traffic light at the end of the block. This street is a narrow 1-way.
Trucks not respectful of pedestrians, especially right by a school. Trucks run the red light and speed daily.
Trucks constantly parked on sidewalk causing pedestrians to need to enter street
Need a Local Traffic only sign - way too many huge trucks travel down this street 24/7 all hours of the day- 18 wheelers at time. There is a truck route one block over on Prospect Avenue which should be enforced. I believe this street is being used as a cut through up from Prospect Park SW, or some other reason. Need much better signage and enforcement. Leads to congestion, road rage with blocked streets, and unsafe turning near many walking schoolchildren.
18 wheelers get stuck trying to make the turn from 11th street to 45th ave a few times a month. This causes backed up traffic, cars trying to go around by driving on the sidewalks and bike lanes, etc.
This stretch of Metropolitan Ave from the BQE to East Williamsburg is essentially an at-grade freeway. The amount of dangerous traffic, pollution, and noise from these tractor trailers must be addressed.
