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

Trucks regularly drive through this stoplight without stopping. The crossing goes directly to a school and there is limited visibility from the sidewalk. There are too many trucks in this street that goes right through a neighborhood
Trucks speed around this corner, creating extreme danger for pedestrians. The corner is directly in front of a school and in spite of street design improvements it remains dangerous. This should not be a truck route.
There are signs stating West End Avenue is for "PASSENGER CARS ONLY", yet large trucks frequently are seen speeding up and down the avenue for many, many blocks, as far as the eye can see. They use this avenue for more than deliveries. I believe when it is for a delivery, the drivers is supposed to make the first turn possible off the avenue after the delivery. This is not happening, and they are speeding as well. This is a residential street with schools as well as many senior citizens. Speeding trucks make the area unsafe, and the trucks are not legally supposed to be on WEST END AVENUE to begin with. I have witnessed several incidents where a speeding (and illegally on the avenue) truck, is running a red light and has nearly hit a pedestrian in the crosswalk. I appreciate the DOT trying to improve or clarify truck routes, but it does not appear there is currently nor has there ever been (in my 40 years of living on West End Ave) any consistent monitoring or ticketing of speeding trucks and trucks that are illegally using WEST END AVNUE. How will this problem be fixed?
This narrow residential street is too narrow for trucks and is also a major connection for cyclists. Trucks should not be routed down Bergen Street.
This has to be one of the worst intersections in the city. The lights are confusing, the roadways are too plentiful, and the bike lane is in the middle of the road. I often witness trucks speeding through the right turn off Havemeyer as the pedestrian lights turn green.
Several issues here. 1. Grand St is frequently used by trucks, likely as an alternative to Metropolitan. There is no enforcement of truck routes. 2. Roebling St around Grand St has many pedestrians and bicyclists, and near-collision incidents occur daily. Both Roebling St and Grand St would benefit from having bike lanes and from restricting truck traffic. 3. As noted by another respondent, Roebling St and S4th has a confusing intersection that causes many conflicts of trucks, pedestrians, and bicycles.
