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

For years, from 11PM to 3AM, I have witnessed very large private garbage trucks speeding down Court Street (30+ mph) often blowing through red lights. These trucks should not be using Court Street as a shortcut, even late at night and certainly not at such high speeds.
Large trucks heading northbound regularly fail to make the left onto Columbia and get stuck on this street. Illegally parked cars at the T-intersection at Hicks Street make a difficult right turn impossible, such that trucks need to back out into the VERY busy truck route intersection at Columbia and Degraw.
many trucks get stuck here making this turn
almost killed here by speeding trucks
unsafe
scary place for walking
Soon enough some pedestrian is going to die here: cars/trucks run the red light at the on ramp, cars/trucks to avoid the light, drive in the 2nd (N) lane and illegally turn right after the pedestrian island. It's the wild west. Please close the BQE onramp. Cars/Trucks can turn on Furman and get on the BQE via Sands st. It would erase the bottle neck that now runs from the on ramp all the way up to Clinton. And again, soon enough, someone will die.
This road has no business being a truck route!
My car got hit here by a hit and run truck. Police said it happens all of the time here. Why is there no prevention?
Van Brunt is a small neighborhood street with so many pedestrians and cyclists. It is a marked cyclist route yet trucks aggressively drive and dominate the road.
