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

This whole section is a dangerous death trap. Lots of pedestrians going to Brooklyn Bridge Park. What about an overpass for them to cross on foot? What is there now is gambling with your life.
Speeding trucks AND cars running the red light all the time at this big intersection. There is an awkward pedestrian crossing just outside of the Michaels Store, with not enough time for people to cross. This combined with speeding trucks ignoring yellow/red lights is a disaster waiting to happen.
This left turn into Smith Street is not wide enough, especially with lanes taken away due to the Borough Jail project. There has been an accident where a huge truck took out scaffolding on a residential building.
trucks double parking daily for deliveries
trucks (mainly oversize) can't make this turn because of illegaly parked vehicles and other street obstructions
trucks park in bike lane daily for deliveries.
Trucks double park in bike lane for deliveries.
Trucks damage vehicles and are often stuck on this turn because of illegally parked vehicles. buses encounter this issue as well
Trucks have destroyed numerous street trees taking this turn.
The left turn from Hicks St onto Atlantic to reach the BQE on-ramp in a massive pedestrian hazard - trucks race through the light, blocking the intersections, prevent pedestrians from crossing. Traffic is also always so backed up on Hicks due to this left turn onto Atlantic, that the Hicks ambulance entrance to the ER is always blocked.
