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:

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

The corner of Vanderbilt and prospect Ave has two daycares on the block, a turn-off to the expressway, and NO traffic light or crosswalk, and no curb dip.
Atlantic Ave should be demapped as a truck route. But ALL City streets should be demapped as truck routes. We need to be working toward a future with Zero trucks in NYC, not just moving their routes around.
The BQE needs to be de-mapped as a truck route in order to be able to remove it altogether. Please move freight off this highway to blue highway, rail, and step-down to micromobility.
there's a big asphalt space here with bikes, pedestrians going to the park, and enormous trucks all in conflict. The trucks need to go.
The onramp for the Queens Bound Atlantic Ave needs to be closed. It's terrifying for pedestrians; cars and trucks don't ever stop, even with a red light.
Trucks hurry to make the light and turn -- very dangerous crossing for pedestrians, cyclists and even other cars.
A lot of oversized trucks observed in an area with lots of small children and an elementary school.
Trucks speed to turn onto the Prospect Park Expressway, constantly failing to yield to pedestrians and cyclists, who have a narrow window of time to cross. It feels like taking your life into your own hands everytime you have to cross. A truck hit an MTA bus here recently, and cyclists and pedestrians have also been hit.
Truck consistently speed down this stretch of Church Avenue to make it to the turn onto the Propsect Park Expressway, often running red lights in the process
Trucks turn from Coney Island Avenue onto Church Avenue on a near-constant basis, often blocking the box, turning into pedestrian walkways without yielding, and blocking schoolchildren going to the many nearby schools.
