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

inadequate loading zones in adjacent streets cause trucks to block bike lanes in both directions to make deliveries to hotels on this block
bad intersection timing and design causes truck pedestrian conflict on north crosswalk across flatbush for left turn. all schermerhorn traffic should be routed to flatbush north via currently closed 3av stub. all 3av traffic should go to lafayette with a lane and separate signal in lieu of curb parking to follow closed 3av stub to flatbush north. during main red phase of flatbush eastbound bike traffic can continue through the intersection between left only schermerhorn traffic bound for flatbush and right only traffic 3av to lafayette. during brief 3 av to flatbush phase, eastbound bike traffic would stop. schemerhorn to lafayette traffic would follow state street to flatbush instead. signal at state required
extensive double parking causes conflict between bicycle traffic and motor vehicle traffic. loading zones and docks are not properly used. protected bike lane should be extended as it is north of lafayette and ashland should run south only here to reduce opposing traffic conflicts if loading zones are oversubscribed. bike traffic need to be two way here for manhattan bridge-4th ave connectivity.
