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.

Neptune Ave has a bicycle lane that will conflict with the truck route.
Oversized trucks come off the Prospect Expressway at the wrong exit and when they are turning around to get back on the expressway they get stuck in the intersection of PPW and 18th.
Trucks take Hubert from West Street to Hudson while Hubert is a residential street, not a truck route, adding to gridlock and endangering pedestrians at Hubert/Hudson. Needs more enforcement and better signage.
The new bike lane on 20th street leads to the McDonald Ave truck route
This is an important bike route connecting Ditmas Park Brooklyn with the park and points north. It is also adjacent to a well-used part and athletic field. This should not be a truck route
Street is a 24-hour DOT Open Street closure and does not provide access between Ninth Ave and W 14th Street
Almost got hit on my bike here by a speeding truck!
Massive trucks careen down Franklin Ave all day long, despite the fact that it is not a legal truck route. A speeding truck killed a cyclist (who was in the bike lane!) at Franklin Ave and Lexington St. Franklin Ave is a residential street--it serves several schools and churches, and it is heavily used by children and the elderly. It needs bold signage and consistent enforcement to prevent trucks from using it and further endangering the community.
This road is so narrow that cars are parking on the sidewalk. If vehicles are parked legally, it is impossible for a truck to pass oncoming traffic. Either remove parking from one side to match the rest of Cooper or eliminate the truck route on this street. You cannot accommodate both.
The roadway is very narrow for trucks, buses, and parked cars. I do not understand why this street welcomes thru truck traffic, which should be limited to highways as much as possible. Luckily lots of trucks do not actually utilize this street. Let's remove this truck route
