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

Health and Environmental Impact: Locations with air quality, general health, and environmental concerns

This is a school! School buses let off here next to massive 18 wheeler trucks speeding down the street. It is not appropriate for a truck route.
This street has already taken the life of 2 cyclists in the last 4 years. It is a residential neighborhood and not appropriate for truck traffic. The road surface is bad and biking on metropolitan is super dangerous.
I have seen trucks speed through red lights at this intersection! It's a super busy intersection with a lot of pedestrians as the subway lets off right there. It's a matter of time before someone is hit by a truck and killed.
Trucks double park here to delivery to the grocery store, meaning cars have to pull around them into oncoming traffic. It's super dangerous. Parking should be removed here to allow trucks to make deliveries if required.
Trucks turning here often get stuck and block the whole intersection.
The trucks are either speeding or idling while getting coffee. The trcuk tradfic is hazardous to pedestrians.
Why is the city continuing to build residential buildings (i.e. corner of Bushwick Ave and Metropolitan) yet failing to protect the safety of the families that live here and will soon live here? Please reroute the trucks! And at the very least add speed bumps. I can't stand to see another pedestrian, cyclist, and dog hit on this street.
Add a speed bump and or speed cameras. Cars and Trucks often drive over the speed limit. It's obnoxious and extremely dangerous.
In the four short years that I have lived on Metropolitan I have developed asthma. Constantly scrapping black dust from the windowsills, the disel trucks that speed down the street at all hours are certaintly to blame.The street has become unliveable due to this pollution and safety hazard to pedestrians and cyclists. Cement trucks have spilled cement numerous times leading to uneven roads. Why is the city building new residential buildings (i.e. corner of Bushwick Ave. and Metropolitan) yet failing to protect the safety of the families who currently live here and will soon live here? Please reroute these trucks to a less residential and commercial street! And please at least add speed bumps. I can't stand to see another biker, dog and pedestrian hit.
