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

There is no truck parking on this entire two block stretch. This causes trucks to park in the bus lane. Busses then end up needing to veer into oncoming traffic to get around trucks.
Where the car wash is, cars regularly line up in the bus lane for their car wash. This occasionally also backs up into the intersection with east 8th street. Trucks frequently get stuck behind the ensuing log jam.
There’s a large bump between the stoplights. Trucks going over this bump causes my apartment to shake a block away.
A crosswalk was recently placed here with a light but trucks frequently run the light.
Trucks park in the bus lane here constantly, resulting in the busses honking at them and the busses honking back
This block is less of a street and more of a parking lot--trucks are constantly parked every which way, blocking the bike lane and street and requiring bikes and cars to pick their way through a maze of parking and loading trucks. It's wildly unsafe.
Trucks speed along Caton when they can but frequently run red lights and/or blocking intersections and crosswalks especially along the length of the Parade Grounds
Trucks frequently illegally going over the curb to park at the loading dock across the street. By doing that they destroyed the planer separating the bike lane from the street and also damaged surface of the bikelane to a point that quarter of it is unusable and creates the dangerous bottleneck for bikes and also preventing bikes form using the bikelane. There should be bollards enacted between the road and the bikelane preventing trucks to drive over them or the business that those trucks deliver to should be fined for reconstruction of this damaged city infrastructure.
Truck traffic should be limited to Church Ave and not be directly next to the Parade Grounds along Caton Ave which is constantly active and full of kids. Additional hazard is created when oversized trucks try to use narrow side streets to move between Church and Caton Avenues even though the turns are dangerous
Tractor Trailer trucks destroy the walk/don't walk sign in front of P.S. 506 every few weeks when trying to turn left to go north. This is very dangerous for the students!
