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

Bike and trucks constantly having near misses of collisions on this segement
Large trucks at high speeds through a crowded public space and busy subway entrances with people walking everywhere
Now being a rare exclusive truck (and bus) route, 14th Street sees a disproportionate amount of HEAVY truck traffic (cement mixers, dump trucks, dumpster beds, garbage trucks, and tractor trailers). In a low-traffic environment with a wave of green lights, these trucks have been observed speeding through an incredibly dense pedestrian environment at Union Square. I think there should be a speed study conducted and mitigation efforts considered, such as an alternate signal progression AND geometrically-programmed louvered visors on the traffic signals
When traffic gets backed up on Church and/or Caton, vehicles of all types bypass the traffic through here. They speed through the stop sign. There are a lot of people who use mobility assist devices who have almost gotten hit.
Need more truck parking
This area has no traffic lights and many cyclists and pedestrians crossing to enter the park. Trucks are aggressive here and do not yield to pedestrians.
65th Street is very dangerous for pedestrians and bicyclists with cars and trucks
Trucks are often in bike lane
Truck route is through very narrow streets, a park and in front of a Public elementary school. Dangerous conditions for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers.
Trucks do not fit at this light without blocking the crosswalks. I personally almost got hit by a truck there because they could not see me
Do you want to show us the area in StreetView before submitting?
