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.

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

Trucks always double park causing major backups on Van Brunt. These are dangerous in front of the school.
The pedestrian walkway here is on the west side of East 7th street and cars are turning from East 7th onto Ocean Parkway looking East towards oncoming cars. So they are entering traffic turning into pedestrians while looking away from them. There is ample space to reroute the pedestrian traffic to the east of East 7th St, so turning drivers can see the pedestrians and oncoming cars.
53' trailers regularly running lights and blocking intersection; poorly timed lights and no enforcement of local truck route
There is a constant stream of 16-wheel/70' trucks that travel along Caton Avenue from Ft. Hamilton Pkwy all the way to Flatbush. They are loud, large, and have trouble making turns onto the smaller local roads. Not to mention how dangerous it is for pedestrian traffic, which there is much of since Caton Avenue goes through residential neighborhoods with many schools, homes, and the Parade Grounds. I have heard that this part of Caton Ave is a truck route for Rt 27, but I think this should be reconsidered. The neighborhoods it travels through are too populated and the trucks are horrible for quality of life.
Narrow roadway - large, non-local trucks regularly back up traffic.
Multiple schools and a chaotic intersection results in daily conflict between pedestrians and trucks.
I noticed on your map that Park Ave between E183rd St and E181st St are not on the truck map. Yet, we often have trucks driving down Park Ave. We even had our internet knocked out by a truck that hit the cable and ripped it off. We also some times have 18 wheeler trucks double park to drop off merchandise. There should be signs stating that on these streets trucks are not permitted.
inadequate loading zones cause regular deliveries to Aymen Organic Mini Mart, Eagle Convenience, and Domino's Pizza to block street in eastbound direction, causing traffic to backup.
inadequate loading zones cause regular 53' trailer deliveries to Bravo Supermarkets to block street in westbound direction, causing traffic to backup.
Oversized 53' trailer trucks often spend the night parking here idling all night.
