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

No truck parking, so they park on the sidewalk, and cause an already narrow road too narrow for many of the vehicles that attempt to pass through...
No truck parking, so they just park on the sidewalk....
Often observe trucks speeding or blowing red ligths at this and many other Metropolitan intersections. This one is right by a primary school
Feldman Lumber trucks frequently load from blocked bike lanes
Trucks frequently parked in bike land on westbound lane adjacent to triangle parklet
Bike lanes ALWAYS blocked by trucks between bushwick and vandervoort. Cars and trucks park on sidewalks routinely
between on-street parking and the two way bus lane, there isn't enough space for many of the trucks that go down this road, causing pollution (both noise and air), traffic congestion, and conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. It's a total, absolute mess.
This is a truck route?! This turn is way way way too tight for many of the trucks going down Schermerhorn.
This intersection is incredibly dangerous for pedestrians. Trucks often block the box / crosswalk, causing pedestrians to venture into active traffic. Trucks also try to beat (and often run) the red light. It's terrifying for pedestrians.
This road is too narrow for many of the trucks that drive down here.
