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

The new traffic pattern on 20th Street from 3rd Ave to 10 Ave. Has created a nightmare commute for Trucks and Motor Vehicles. The pattern has created more traffic on the surrounding Streets and Avenues especially at PM rush hour and when School is in session. The traffic nightmare each and every weekday is due to the unnecessary pedestrian and bike lane that takes away the East Bound 20th Street lane and making it one way West bound. Few people use this pedestrian through-fair as opposed to the thousands of motorist and trucks that are dramatically increased their commute by an hour each day...Add an hour more... The 20th Street pattern change also creates a danger for emergency response vehicles as per there are at lease 3 local hospitals that are affected. The exit off the Prospect is included in this traffic pattern effects Truck route #27 which is a route used to transport from the Brooklyn docks to JFK Airport... This change should have been better designed or left the way it was...especially for safety reasons alone...
Too many trucks speeding. They are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists and the increasing number of children in the area
The pedestrian crossing at Caton Avenue and Ocean Parkway is extremely dangerous. Turning trucks do not yield to pedestrians, even when pedestrians have a walk signal. There are multiple schools on Caton Avenue, making trucks there inappropriate. I also suggest that the maximum size truck in NYC be reduced across the board.
Heavy amount of noise and environmental pollution from passing trucks
Trucks ignoring red light of stopping in the middle of the intersection and blocking both ped crossings.
This area of Caton has a single lane in each direction. Trucks frequently cause gridlock while repositioning to turn, which impacts both cars and pedestrians, especially those trying to cross Caton to the Church Ave B/Q subway entrance.
Truck turns and busy pedestrian intersection in conflict. Lafayette Ave SHOULD NOT BE A TRUCK ROUTE.
Truck deliveries blocking bike lane every day. Lafayette SHOULD NOT BE A TRUCK ROUTE. Residential / Schools / Playgrounds / Pedestrians need this street space.
Intersection is always heavily congested with traffic. Bicycle routes are often unclear and are interrupted by ongoing traffic.
