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 block the crosswalk during evening rush hour gridlock. Need blocking the box enforcement and wider cross walks.
Trucks often speed through the soft right turn from Hudson to Canal. ADA crosswalk ramp location makes this condition particularly dangerous for pedestrians.
Trucks consistently block the crosswalk at the right turn from Canal into the Holland Tunnel during evening rush hour. Crosswalks need to be widened and blocking the box needs to be enforced to ensure pedestrians can cross safely. Presently, these are very dangerous conditions.
Trucks using the Holland Tunnel Beach Street exit during evening rush hour contribute to evening gridlock, which creates very dangerous pedestrian conditions through blocked crosswalks. Truck traffic should be routed out of the Varick exit in the evenings. Additionally, trucks use Beach Street when it is a residential street, not a truck route.
Trucks constantly take the Holland Tunnel's Laight Street exit to West Street even though Laight Street is a residential street--not a truck route (and should remain that way). Additionally, right turns onto Hudson Street are illegal from this exit. This exit should be closed to truck traffic in coordination with the Port Authority.
I saw the front part of a tractor trailer truck parked here overnight on the side of a residential street. Why?
Difficult turn from W 14th to 10th Ave, followed by turn to W 15th and 9A.
I commute to work via Franklin St 1 and then walk West on Franklin and frequently there are trucks in this loading bay that are blocking the sidewalk. This forces pedestrians into the roadway to get around and is very dangerous. Trucks should not have sidewalk blocking loading bays.
After Flatbush, Parkside narrows. Given how cars are parked (including double parking), this road struggles to accommodate trucks.
Brooklyn Prospect Sunset Yards Elementary School is located on this block (39th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues), and there is no signage to indicate it's a school zone. The trucks speed down this street and create an unsafe environment for everyone. One of them took out the lamppost on the corner making the turn onto 39th. It would be fantastic to get school-zone signs and speed cameras and maybe limit the ability of trucks to make the extremely tight turn onto 39th from 4th.
