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:

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

This commercial stretch of DeKalb Avenue is inundated with double parking from trucks and therefore the buffered bike lane is consistently blocked. The bike lane should be upgraded to a parking protected bike lane.
DeKalb Avenue should not be a truck route. The neighborhood is adequately served by truck routes on Myrtle Avenue and Fulton St.
Lafayette Avenue should not be a truck route. The neighborhood is adequately served by truck routes on Myrtle Avenue and Fulton St.
Overweight trucks traffic in commercial/residential area.
Please close these ramps! It is miserable for pedestrians to try to west or east on Atlantic Ave at either the on-ramp or off-ramp. Cars and trucks do not stop, and even when they do, they block the crosswalk and curb cuts. These ramps add no value to efficiency of the BQE or the Atlantic Ave. corridor.
DOT please stand on Metropolitan in front of the school or L station for an hour one morning to see the danger and noise pollution from 18 wheelers. Now imagine doing that every morning dropping your kids off at school, going to the subway or waiting for the bus. It's madness. Please help.
Ave U truck route should be eliminated. narrow sidewalks along this notoriously heavily traveled area makes walking with children scary. Ave U provided access to beautiful Lenape Playground and the Marine Park Nature Preserve with acres of forever wild land. A truck route should not be running along this poorly designed street in this residential area.
Avenue U truck route should be eliminated. Ave U between Flatbush and Gerritesen Ave is a residential area and the street is not wide enough to support truck traffic, bus traffic and on street parking especially between Colman Street and E33 st. A dedicated bus lane and dedicated turning lanes would be appropriate remedies to help calm traffic through this congested corridor. The south side of ave U is a beautiful nature preserve and is cut off from the rest of the neighborhood by the intimidating Ave U corridor that cuts through this peaceful area.
Metropolitan Ave from Morgan Ave until the BQE on ramp at Meeker Ave is an absolutely disgusting, heavily dense nightmare. Tons of fumes, truck garbage (I see bottles filled with truckers piss every day along this route) and trucks destroying the health and vitality of our community
Truck repair shop blocking street. Vandervoort Ave and Division. Leaves trucks for months on Vandervoort and the city does not ticket during street cleaning. Also can’t street clean with the trucks not moving for it.
