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

Constant dangerous situations for bike and pedestrians around Hicks & Atlantic intersection
Speeding trucks and observed pedestrian and truck conflicts, especially with an elementary school and middle school in that location.
need crosswalk. dangerous intersection with no daylighting. obstructed view and traffic does not stop where indicated heading into red hook. lots of conflict between trucks, cars, pedestrians.
this corner is notorious for trucks swiping cars when turning either left or right. trucks sometimes must drives through the one way towards hamilton against signage indicating do not enter.
Trucks repeatedly crash into and destroy the pedestrian walk signal light for the crosswalk across Van Brunt St. It usually takes months for the city to put up a new signal light. It’s dangerous for pedestrians to cross Van Brunt because of all the speeding trucks coming from five different directions here.
Trucks speed and honk here
Trucks stuck trying to turn. I witnessed cars Getting damaged
This is a residential block truck's should not be driving down this street in Red Hook Brooklyn 11231 we need truck routes signage to keep them off off residential blocks thank you
Years ago, I requested a sign indicating NO TRUCKS EXCEPT FOR LOCAL DELIVERY at Henry and Remsen Streets. Trucks completely ignore the signage and race down Henry, especially after 11 PM, every night. This includes a lot of private carter and 18-wheel trucks. They'r on their way to the BQE, and the noise is awful for such a residential area. They can turn on Remsen to Court, instead. It completely affects QoL.
This left turn is too right for trucks turning left onto the BQE ramp. They constantly go onto the sidewalk here. Just look at the dirt patch and tire tracks for the evidence that they cannot make this turn.
