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

Many, many conflicts with trucks and cyclists here. The intersection is confusing, the turn is too tight for many trucks, and the road is very narrow. Shouldn't be a truck route.
This road, which is now very narrow due to the protected two way bike lane and municipal parking, is not adequate for the size of trucks barreling down the street on a daily basis. There are many near misses with pedestrians and cyclists.
No truck parking / loading, so they double park and causes massive backups along this street, which in turn cases angry drivers who honk, drive aggressively, and run red lights.
This block has the entrance to our elementary school it is completely inappropriate and highly dangerous to have a truck route located here
I’ve literally seen bikers get hit and killed by the trucks
The amount of back to back 18 wheelers makes it awful to walk to stores and subway, the entrance of which is on this block. Essentially destroys our neighborhood
Many trucks try to go left onto Driggs from 11th then hit parked cars. They need signage to continue to Union. I think signal can be spotty here as well
Trucks dominating the narrow street
Illegal 18 wheel trucks turning off Van Brunt St. onto Dikeman St.
No trucks ever on 111 st and Amsterdam & Broadway unless working on block. It’s a narrow street and truckers blow their horns constantly & making loud noise pollution. Truckers should just go to 110th street, better space for them.
