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 5 way intersection. Trucks come speeding out of the container terminal while pedestrians have the walk sign. Trucks ignore the yield to cyclist and pedestrians sign existing the port.
So many speeding trucks run the light. There is an elementary school here and it is incredibly dangerous. Trucks also regularly park in the intersection blocking the crosswalk.
I imagine many commenters have singled out the absurd convergence of at least 5 lanes at this intersection. Might I also point out that the noise from frustrated drivers leaning on their horns is a nightmare for those who live at this point juncture and should be considered a health hazard. If the DOT would at least put a TRAFFIC AGENT!!!! there during a.m. and p.m. rush hours, this might make an improvement.
This is a marked cycling route yet there are so many aggressive trucks. Trucks regularly speed and pass aggressively not leaving adequate room. Why is such a small neighborhood street that is a marked bicycle route allowing so many aggressive trucks? Why won't the NYPD enforce any traffic laws on van brunt?
there has to be a crosswalk here and the stop sign has to be returned. it was apparently only up by the construction company to keep them safe. the whole neighborhood uses this dog park and i personally almost got hit by a speeding car last week.
This area is unsafe and only getting worse. There needs to be fines for honking, there needs to be crossing guard streamlining the flow of traffic and keeping pedestrians safe. For one weekend, there were 6 cops standing at the corner just witnessing the madness without any direction to help handle the situation. Let's get to work on what can be some simple first steps before more people die on Atlantic Ave.
I personally almost got hit by a large garbage truck at the corner of Atlantic and Clinton St. The Truck was going north on Clinton and I was crossing Atlantic from the northwest to southwest corner. I had a green light that started counting down to red as I was crossing, so I presume the truck had an orange light. The truck started speeding up to make the turn and probably didn't see me. This was in the evening hours so maybe the visibility was bad. That said, I cross this intersection regularly as I live a block away on Pacific and Clinton and regularly see all types of vehicles going up Clinton trying to quickly make a turn east or west bound on Atlantic before the light changes and given how many people cross this intersection, including kids on scooters, bikes, etc who are low to the ground, it's very scary.
Over size trucks are often parked along Columbia esplanade - idling for long periods of time. This is very close to the school and green spaces, where air quality needs to be protected. The trucks are often speeding and or blocking access around the school crossings and access
No sidewalk and conflicts between pedestrians and trucks.
Over size trucks are often seen all up and down van brunt and conover. Often blocking access and double parked
