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

FedEx uses the bike lane to park their trailers. They don't even bother leaving the cabs attached because often the trailers are parked there for that long.
The cement trucks line up in the bike lane and block street traffic here, especially at the end of the day. You can literally see the cement trucks in Google Street view parking in the bike lane. This bike lane needs a jersey divider protecting it because the trucks don't respect any of that. Not surprisingly, these trucks are the same brand that was driven through the red light on Boerum and Bushwick that killed a cyclist back in 2019.
Windsor is a narrow one way street, one block from Prospect Ave which is two way and double the width. For some reason GIANT trucks drive / speed down Windsor all day and night long. Windsor should *not* be on the truck route, and Prospect Ave *should* be on the truck route. If this is already the rule - it should be enforced.
Trucks regularly turn onto Bushwick Ave and end up stuck, which is strange because none of these roads are truck routes. Many of these trucks are 53 foot trailers, which is also strange because those aren't allowed in NYC at all. Where is the enforcement? Why is doesn't anyone in this city do the bare minimum? We could fund the entire city on tickets from trucks illegally using Bushwick Avenue and Meserole Street.
Speeding trucks are using Metropolitan Ave as a thorough road all day and night. It's loud, polluting, and unsafe.
trucks racing on the road from BQE regularly
Very big trucks riding right through the bike lane
Trucks regularly speed up Franklin Ave through the school zone
Trucks speeding and running red lights
Large construction vehicles, dump trucks, and semis regularly speed through this intersection full of pedestrians.
