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

Nearby schools exposed to heavy truck traffic that cause poor air quality and compromised health for students and teachers on an ongoing basis
there should be red light camera here. not enough people honk before they run the red lights.
this is a bus stop. it is constantly blocked by trucks that go to the two corner delis. trucks are usually left idling. exhaust fumes are one thing, noise pollution is another. these two bus stops should have an extended platform preventing trucks from hindering, endangering other forms of transport, pedestrians.
at nights the wide street is fairly empty. lots of trucks just speeding to their final destination a few blocks away.
a block away is a school. large trucks on a truck route with constant blocking of the intersection is a recipe for a tragedy. had far too many close calls.
this is a bus stop. there are two delis at this intersection across from each other.. trucks constantly block the buses, leaving the trucks idling while they go to the deli. simultaneusly there are trucks double parked to go to the other deli. this is also a block from a public school. when gets get released its chaos with large trucks. a speeding camera was recently added to 21st ave at this intersection. not on the truck route. a red light camera would be very helpful.
Speed limits need to be reduced because of speeding trucks on this street heading to/from the warehouse. (I.e. 15mph)
In the past 6 months every street around this street has been repaved and has gotten new curbs. 227th Street between 146th Ave and 147th Ave has received new curbs however, it is the only street that hasn’t been repaved and probably needs repaving the most. Due to heavy truck traffic there are numerous potholes lining the street which causes damage to tires, puddling of rain water and a walking hazard when crossing.
The larger trucks, especially 53 footers, have hit numerous parked cars and taken down street signs repeatedly when turning from 147th Avenue onto 227th Street. They’ve also gotten stuck in winter weather while turning causing the street to be blocked for extended periods of time.
E149th St Corridor Intersections of concern: St Ann's Ave, Southern Boulevard, Timpson Place, Bruckner Boulevard -Intersections are always heavily congested with truck traffic -High truck congestion worsens air quality in these key locations -Commercial trucks park on residential streets
