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:

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.

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

Trucks have a hard time seeing cyclists as they transition between the two-way protected bike lane on 39th st and sharing the road with tricks on 1st ave
Trucks are constantly turning on Nurge Ave to get to Grand Ave. They use GPS designed for cars and always have to back out creating a dangerous situation.
Trucks are consistently double parked on this stretch of 1st ave
Hospital workers using this citibike station (57th and 1st) struggle to cross aggressive truck traffic without any signage
Cyclists turning from 4th ave onto Bergen (a major route for morning commuters to downtown BK and Manhattan) struggle to safely navigate the intersection with truck routes along both roads
Numerous trucks double parked on 3rd ave between 36th st and 43rd st every morning loading and unloading daily supplies - they should have direct curb access.
Trucks attempt to turn on to Fort Greene Place to access Atlantic Mall.
Too many trucks, it's dangerous for all the pedestrians and cyclists and causes a lot of pollution and noise on this street with idling and driving trucks.
if another truck honks here because of traffic stoppage i'm going to have an aneurysm
Kings Highway from Bay Parkway to Ocean Ave only has one lane of traffic in each direction. This is a heavily trafficked commercial corridor not well suited as a designated truck route. Should be redesignated for local deliveries only.
