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 should be banned from this area. The streets are too narrow and this particular on-ramp is like a magnet for speeding, aggressive driving, and near misses with cars and pedestrians.
No one seems to know what to do at this intersection. So they just make noise. And almost hit pedestrians (or both)
Vehicles speed toward this intersection and then honk incessantly if anyone is in the crosswalk. It’s super dangerous to cross here…
The delayed green right turning lane here is very very very dangerous for pedestrians. I’ve seen so many near accidents at this very corner.
May I direct your attention to the destroyed stone median…
Trucks always barrel down this stretch of road, trying to beat the light. Makes it super dangerous for pedestrians. I hate hate hate crossing here.
Trucks often run red lights here, or completely block the box and crosswalk.
No loading zone for trucks so they just park in the bike lane or jam up traffic. Specifically the grocery store
Trucks like to park here in the bus lane in front of the bus stop, jamming up street traffic.
Lots of trucks taking a shortcut down this street don't stop before the crosswalk - they stop halfway into 41st Ave (since they can't see around the building) hoping there is no traffic on 41st Ave and they can roll on through. This intersection probably deserves a stop light, or at least a bright red crosswalk.
