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

Signage used to indicate that trucks weren't allowed on 17th st beyond Expressway entrance (except for local deliveries). This sign has been removed.
Speeding trucks going up India St between Manhattan Ave & MacGuiness Blvd. I also am not sure trucks are legal on India St.
This intersection has a sign that says No Trucks but trucks illegally use it to cut across to Greenpoint Ave. Witnessed dozens of trucks doing this daily.

Trucks bypass and avoid the Van Dam route and use Kingsland Ave because it's a faster route for them. Sometimes they SPEED down this road, and hit the speed hump, causing their truck bed to slam against the truck body, causing loud horrible sounds. Also the speeding is out of control. This street has a clear sign that says NO TRUCKS.
This is a NO TRUCK street yet they constantly come down - speeding and make it unsafe for the children entering and exiting the school. They yell obscenely at parents and kids.
This intertsection has been a mess for years. With construction and no adequately safe way to cross this intersection it is only a matter of time before someone is killed. Construction barricades obsure safe ways to get across and there is no safe way to get from Franklin to Clay without getting into traffic. Truck traffic is the highest it has ever been with added construction vehicles and they idle and speed through as if they were in an industrial buisness zone, not a growing residential community.
There is no light at this intersection and trucks speed through. Our growing residential neighborhood needs more traffic lights to calms speeding and improve safety.
Traffic in both NB and SB directions on McGuinness routinely attempt to cross oncoming traffic while turning onto Greenpoint Ave. There are left-turn lanes in both directions, but no dedicated left-turn traffic light, which encourages vehicles (esp trucks) to aggressively attempt to make the turn any time there is a gap in traffic, endangering both cyclists and pedestrians crossing Greenpoint Ave.
The merge of traffic from the Pulaski bridge, McGuinness Blvd, the Pulaski Bridge bike path, and surface street bike, pedestrian, and vehicle traffic is extraordinarily dangerous. There is limited signage/paint identifying right of way, and there are constant conflicts between southbound vehicle traffic turning onto Freeman from the bridge and southbound surface traffic merging onto McGuinness, with cyclists in both accessing the bridge in both directions constantly caught in the middle.
