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

Giant box trucks are always double parked in this specific spot. In addition, because 34th ave became an open street the excess traffic has spilled into 35th which is no designed for the load of giant box trucks going to and coming from the BQE leading to massive traffic on a residential street.
"box-blocking" and crosswalk blocking are common at this intersection by trucks going down 21st Street, which can often block vehicle traffic and force pedestrians crossing the street into the flow of traffic. Box enforcement along 21st street with cameras and painting would help.
Multiple trucks over the 53 foot limit on 2nd Avenue throughout the night trying to leave Manhattan via the 59th street bridge. These trucks are also often noisy and honking at all hours of the night.
trucks regularly block the box here, making it difficult, and even sometimes impossible for pedestrians cross. there is a "bus only" turn signal on Dekalb turning northbound onto Flatbush, this seems completely useless, considering that at almost every single light cycle during rush hour, the box is blocked and people completely disregard traffic lights.
Trucks heading north on Farmers Blvd would have to drive the wrong way down a one way street to continue onto the truck route on Liberty Av. Also, if trucks are heading north, they are expected to turn west onto Liberty Av, go up 168 St, and then double back east along Jamaica Av. This is a very indirect path. Allowing trucks to continue north along Farmers Blvd would make more sense
Rte 27 should be routed off Caton.
Biking here feels really unsafe!
Trucks park in the bike lane throughout Bedford Ave.
Vandervoort Ave is a truck route and has now turned into a loading dock for Regina’s Caterers. It causes excessive honking for blocking the lanes and also blocks sidewalks and the streets with their boxes and pallets. Major congestion trying to get to the BQE. Vandervoort Ave should not be used as a loading dock if it’s a truck route.
Trucks often stop to unload along Flatbush avenue - reducing usable lanes to 2 creating serious congestion during rush hour
