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

Over size trucks are often seen all up and down van brunt and conover. Often blocking access and double parked
Hicks and Atlantic Intersection is dangerous for pedestrians/cyclists. Cars and Trucks constantly block the intersection, and run red lights. Ambulances crawl on Hicks to reach NYU Langone. There is zero enforcement by NYPD. ZERO. Occasionally NYPD Traffic is on scene but never tickets offenders. Turning semi-trucks routinely get stuck. This entrance to the BQE should be closed.
Trucks (and other vehicles) regularly speed through the intersection trying to make the light.
18-wheelers simply park and block Henry Street completely in order to deliver to Key Food. They place a cone in the middle of the street but there is no way to use the street and no way this is legal.
18-wheelers take out cars and outdoor eating areas, and then block the residential driveways and unload Key Food deliveries onto the sidewalks. We have complained for years! HELP
There used to be signage here stating "No Horn Honking $350 Fine". Those signs were removed a few years ago and now trucks lay on their horns repeatedly throughout the day, honking mostly at gridlock or cars having to maneuver around double parked trucks. There needs to be enforcement!
This intersection is dangerous to the large number of locals and tourists visiting the park. The trucks ruin the quality of life in this neighborhood, and frankly should be banned. Trucks seeking to travel north on the BQE should be diverted onto the Flatbush extension or the wider, flatter, and divided Adams St. Truck looking to travel south on the BQE should be routed along the wider, flatter, and divided 4th Avenue. 18-wheelers do not belong here!
Terrible turn for trucks. They are constantly smashing the street sign, and driving over the median. They end up having to hop out of their truck to check things and can easily block all eastbound traffic for multiple minutes.
So much speeding here. Site of pedestrian fatalities.
Fatal crashes have happened here before. Lots of speeding too.
