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

Narrow roadway with parked cars on either side. No room for any double parking, and trucks parked are often times in the way of traffic.
Road narrows for bike path, and all traffic lanes shift causing many accidents.
Narrow Ave with minimal truck parking. Lots of traffic due to trucks attempting to double park.
Apollo street is not a truck route but semi trucks are constantly using this residential street as a shortcut to the bqe. They speed down the block, clip trees and are too wide for the narrow road. Island Transportation Corp Gas tank trucks are constantly using this residential route illegally. Countless complaints have been filed with the city but nothing has changed. Please help keep our residential street safe from these oversized trucks.
Trucks turning from 4th avenue onto Union often times are stuck.
Trucks try turning onto Union from 8th and block intersection. Pedestrians and cars are stuck.
No stop sign, or crosswalk leading to this park. Trucks are speeding down Rochester where kids and families are trying to cross. Super dangerous.
Hertz rental constantly double parking cars on already narrow Union.
Long trucks are unable to make this turn easily without hitting parked cars and/or jumping the curb. Not on a truck route but used regularly to get access to IC and 3rd ave.
Truck's regularly use 5th Ave to access 26th st and block it entirely. Most of these trucks are overlength and often have trouble making the turn without jumping the curb
