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

Inadequate space for bikes to get past tractor trailers in this area. These same trucks frequently leave stone, concrete and other debris on the roads that fly or spill off of their trucks. This pollution (rocks and concrete) build up and make it treacherous for bikes to ride on safely.
Trucks consistently run these red lights, putting pedestrians crossing the street at great danger. This block used to be industrial but is now almost exclusively residential.
Constant heavy truck traffic is polluting the air and ground in what is now primarily a residential block. Concrete, rocks and debris often spill off trucks and onto our roads/sidewalks. The speeding trucks often run red lights on both ends of the block. Biking on this block is very dangerous.
i almost got hit am disable
its very hard to cross the street
The truck unloading in narrow intersection along Fulton Street impedes with pedestrian crossing, and increases danger when visibility is low with the big truck parked on the one lane road.
Difficult to select one comment type - at this intersection and along Metropolitan Avenue, I often see speeding trucks, oversize trucks, truck-pedestrian conflicts, and truck-bicycle conflicts. I understand that further east and into Queens Metropolitan Avenue is industrial and the truck activity is economically necessary; however, from Bushwick Ave to the BQE the street is too narrow/residential for the amount of truck traffic it gets, especially since trucks are constantly driving recklessly and aggressively in this pedestrian-heavy area.
by PS 84- no stop lights, cars and trucks don't want to stop. parents tried advocating for stoplights. Unsafe for crossing
unsafe, too many traffic turns
Angel, my friend, almost got hit here
