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

This street is too narrow and congested for trucks which frequent it going between bridge and tunnel. The intersections are almost always blocked making it impossible for pedestrians to cross safely.
This intersection is perilous for pedestrians and cars already and trucks make it even worse. The intersection is frequently blocked by trucks that cannot turn or do not make it through the light.
Idling trucks from the construction at 120 Concord St.
Due to limit of Truck space Trucks all bunch up outside BK port authority
Trucks are staged near residents as well as blocking the bus stop
Crossing guards aren’t doing their jobs
Truck traffic turning right from Metropolitan Ave onto Varick Ave speeds and does not yield to cyclists in bike lane due to the wide expanse of pavement at this intersection. The intersection and adjoining frontage road need channelization to slow turns.
Use of Meadow Street as a truck route results in blockage of intersection due to turning traffic backing up on Gardner Avenue from Metropolitan Ave.
Street surfaces in this entire area are in very poor condition due to truck volume.
Incredibly dangerous for bicyclists - I just use the sidewalks bc it is impassable due to trucks
