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

Pedestrians are not safe with large trucks coming through Furman and Old Fulton. This is one of the heaviest pedestrian areas in the city, yet it is somehow also a major truck route. This doesn’t make any sense and is inherently unsafe.
Difficult turn between Furman and Old Fulton results in congestion, excessive honking and unsafe pedestrian conditions.
Frequently trucks in bike lane along Old Fulton
High pedestrian traffic to and from BBP and the ferry. Trucks whip around this tight corner and blare their horns without slowing. It is very dangerous to cross here. Pedestrianize this street and re-route the trucks!
Delivery trucks constantly double parked, often with motors idling and for long periods of time..... I thought we were trying to improve environmental conditions! This is especially dangerous during rush hours when traffic heading to the Holland Tunnel forces backup of vehicles and making them move into the bike lane. This is a narrow street and your planning and enforcement is awful! Additionally, trucks are often half parked on sidewalk destroying curbs. Are you going to pay for repairs?
Dekalb has an unprotected bike lane and is already a very busy street through a residential area. Trucks have no business going through there.
Lafayette is a one way street with an unprotected bike lane through a residential area. Trucks should not be utilizing this road.
Road surface has buckled with heavy usage, heaving up the road surface into bumps causing dump trucks, garbage trucks and heavy equipment trucks to rattle and bang loudly - especially at night when they are speeding toward the tunnel. (Similar problems on westbound East 37th Street as well. )
In addition to the Health & Environmental repercussions with extreme noise and danger trying to hail a taxi with a truck blocking the street forcing a pedestrian to walk into the 3rd lane of traffic, consideration should be given to having designated truck delivery times in congested zones -- say 5 or 6 am to 8 am, and 9 pm to 11pm -12 midnight. The impact on traffic, pedestrians & environment will be reduced..
Over sized trucks often pass through this residential street and yank out over head cables. This has occurred more than a handful of times and its dangerous and unacceptable.
