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 speed through this intersection and block the intersection that makes it dangerous for pedestrians AND causes severe traffic problems. It has gotten significantly worse since the light on Church & East 5th went in. Trucks should not be allowed on these road during rush hour traffic.
Trucks regularly block the intersection along the parade grounds. There are kids crossing this street regularly for games and activities. It is extremely dangerous to have trucks on this road.
This road IS WAY TOO NARROW for ALL trucks. There should just be local traffic - NO TRUCKS.
I may be misreading the map. but the proposed truck network changes (see the Brooklyn inset on Pg. 63 of the proposed Smart Truck Management Plan) appears to remove the highway as the truck route between 86th Street and approx. 65th Street, and replace it with 86th Street between the highway and 3rd Ave,
The bike lane on 20th leads directly to a dangerous truck route (trucks especially speed going down the hill)—McDonald Ave by Greenwood Cemetery should have a bike lane to prevent bike and truck conflicts
Trucks speed here to make the light, making this intersection incredibly dangerous (especially as it's right next to an elementary school)
Large trucks have trouble turning onto the truck route at Caton, blocking the entire intersection for cars, pedestrians, and cyclists
Not a truck route, yet large trucks consistently speed down this street
Saw a delivery driver get hit by a truck at this intersection
Significant truck congestion. Need pedestrian safety enhancements.
