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 is a residential block truck's should not be driving down this street in Red Hook Brooklyn 11231 we need truck routes signage to keep them off off residential blocks thank you
Years ago, I requested a sign indicating NO TRUCKS EXCEPT FOR LOCAL DELIVERY at Henry and Remsen Streets. Trucks completely ignore the signage and race down Henry, especially after 11 PM, every night. This includes a lot of private carter and 18-wheel trucks. They'r on their way to the BQE, and the noise is awful for such a residential area. They can turn on Remsen to Court, instead. It completely affects QoL.
This left turn is too right for trucks turning left onto the BQE ramp. They constantly go onto the sidewalk here. Just look at the dirt patch and tire tracks for the evidence that they cannot make this turn.
Trucks speed down Atlantic and through intersections before they hit the gridlock of traffic trying to get onto the BQE. It's not safe.
This intersection has turned into a feeder area for trucks to get on the BQE. It is insanely dangerous for pedestrians to try to cross here due to trucks turning onto Atlantic.
I actively walk blocks out of my way to avoid this intersection as a pedestrian. It so dangerous for people trying to cross. Red lights are ignored by trucks, and the crosswalk is constantly blocked. I am fearful every time I have to cross here with my kids.

Extremely dangerous for pedestrians. Most trucks don't even notice that they have a red light and just speed up to the BQE entrance. Pedestrians have to look multiple times before crossing on their green light to make sure trucks have noticed them or the red light in order to stop. I'm always scared to cross here especially with kids.
The road is very narrow and truck traffic often causes complete blocks of the road and endangers bikers.
