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:

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

There's a pothole here. When trucks drive by, my entire apartment shakes
Kids cross the street here to get to the park across the street. There is no crosswalk. I've seen a kid just barely miss getting run over by a truck. Please consider adding a crosswalk here I beg you
Trucks seen speeding here
No signage that this is not a truck route. Many speeding trucks down the street. Some have downed low-hanging power lines.
Street too narrow for trucks.
Limited truck parking. Unloading causes traffic jams.
During rush hour this corner becomes overly congested. The traffic light added review ave and 37th street are not in sync with the Greenpoint ave eastbound traffic light. Trucks turning right off the Greenpoint ave bridge get stuck into the intersection after the 2nd or third truck that turns down because they get stuck at the light.
Majority of trucks traveling westbound on Greenpoint Ave trying to get to the Greenpoint ave bridge turn off here at Starr ave. They do this because Bradley ave which is the designated truck route isn’t wide enough to accommodate trucks. This corner particularly becomes congested because the westbound lane ends forcing trucks to turn right onto starrr ave as turning left isn’t wide enough for trucks to travel down.
Truck parking here is limited after 5pm on workdays and from 12pm- the rest of the day on the weekends. Passenger vehicles park here illegally to shop at the stores here
