Difficult Truck turn
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
Difficult Truck turn
Difficult truck turn, buses and trucks always have problems making this turn
Speeding trucks along this road causes noise and nearby buildings to shake. Please force speed downs and or add speed bumps here to alleviate this
Trucks keep going down Bond str and when clogged go up 2nd street which is a street full of families and kids playing. Trucks go up 2nd at a speed trying to turn onto Smith Street
Constant truck speeding and congestion.
Narrow street due to excessive double parking
This is a residential street with a no truck sign and trucks routinely take this route towards the highway entrance ramp. The block is home to a large number of children and the trucks presence is a danger on this street.
This intersection is terrible. There is an intersection of pedestrian, cyclist, and motor vehicle traffic, complicated by low light conditions (it runs under the FDR).
This area, and 300 feet east and west of it, of the Eastbound and Westbound Northern Boulevard is plagued with extremely bad roads. This in combination with trucks speeding makes too much noise and also makes my house vibrate when they pass. I live right on the corner of 223rd street and Northern Boulevard.
Trucks traveling along Northern Boulevard are not only breaking the speed limit, but they're also breaking it while not having various parts of them secured, therefore creating a cacophonous orchestra of noise when they pass.
