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

Trucks using narrow residential streets in the Sunset Park area between 3rd and 4th Avenues
Private cars, delivery trucks constantly double/triple park, businesses occupy sidewalk space.
Oversized trucks park here overnight.
Cars and trucks double and triple park this area. The store here constantly unloads items on the sidewalk forcing people to walk around in the street with cars. There are people with walkers and wheelchairs that constant get stuck.
Many trucks take this route when they come up Yellowstone Blvd and want to head west. Since left turns aren't allowed on Queens Blvd and Yellowstone Blvd; they turn left on Austin St, which is a tight turn, and many get stuck on it. If they make it, many try to turn right on 67th Ave and left on Whetherole. They do this to avoid the lights on Queens Blvd as they head to the highway, likely following Google. This turn is very tight, and trucks often get stuck making it. Please restore left turns on Queens Blvd and disallow through traffic through this residential area. Thank you.
From Sutphin Blvd on 116 avenue to the Van Wyck signage is needed for “No Trucks” unless making deliveries.
Street is not wide enough for two lanes of parked cars, truck traffic and an unprotected bike lane. Any truck route should have a full protected bike lane.
