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:

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

Trucks blocking one lane daily M-F, 9am-3pm. Especially bad 12-3PM. Traffic, congestion are constant from unloading trucks
There are no safe spaces for cyclists to ride on the road in Borough Park, it's very unsafe! Delivery truck drivers frequently speed and double park. Trucks and large school buses make it very unsafe for all road users. There are many preventable crashes in this area.
This busy one-way street is often used by fast-moving delivery trucks and they frequently stop and double park. This presents danger to all road users.
How can thes huge trucks make the turn onto a one way street off of PPW? Impossible! And when a truck double parks on ppw with its bike lane, the car traffic backs up for many blocks adding to the difficulty crossing the street and the pollution that occurs from the car engines. The streets in Park slope are all narrow even the two way 9th street since the two bike lanes have been installed so turning onto the single lane blocks close off the blocks completely.
Huge lines of huge trucks every morning while children are going to school. This has become a residential and retail neighborhood but the trucks are killing it. Make Metropolitan a pedestrian, retail, walkable and bikable street and improve our neighborhood.
Almost hit by truck speeding going to church. Loud crashing in potholes disrupts service.
Super large trucks are dangerous to pedestrians and commuters waiting for the bus and going to the L and G trains. Please protect pedestrians over trucks.
Very narrow road with no where to unload any kind of truck. Needs a designated area for loading and unloading.
Stop the tractor trailer and construction vehicles from going past our Elementary school. The route can be changed to connect the IBZ and BQE by going up Vandervoort Ave in Brooklyn or Rust Street /56th Road in Queens. Those streets are within the industrial area and do not go through residential areas with schools and can still easily reach the BQE.
You can hear the trucks hitting potholes 1-2 blocks north and south of Metropolitan.
