This road is too narrow for trucks. They should be restricted to Atlantic Avenue
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
This road is too narrow for trucks. They should be restricted to Atlantic Avenue
I often see trucks pulling over here to deliver to the market and getting in the bike lane.
Trucks drive down this block even though it is not part of the truck route.
No signage indicating that no trucks are allowed on this street unless they are making deliveries.
Large over-sided delivery trucks constantly speed down this street to avoid the congestion caused on 5th avenue because of other double parked trucks making deliveries. The speed is not only unsafe for pedestrians but also it is creating potholes in the street where I have witnessed people on bikes and scooters hitting the holes and falling.
Intense truck traffic with no safe bike lanes! Please help!
We desperately need safe, completely protected bike lanes that trucks can’t park in
Consistent trucks moving rapidly (usps, tractor trailors, etc) especially early morning. Very hazardous given narrow street and not even on a truck route
Huge speeding delivery trucks come down the street constantly. They also double park at the end of the street closer to 5th ave making deliveries.
I am afraid to cross this intersection because so many cars and trucks run through the red light trying to either get onto the BQE or to get through the incredibly congested intersection. We detour and cross Atlantic at Henry Street instead and avoid this intersection entirely it is so dangerous.
