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

Why are trucks allowed on this street? There is not reason for them to be here. There are no stores, no warehouses, etc just residential
Trucks blocking the bike lane here.
Trucks go too fast down Flatbush, especially at night.
I frequently see trucks drive on the prospect park loop. I get that they need to restock and deliver to the restaurants and venues in the park, but why does it have to be a giant truck? Why can't they park outside the park and load their deliveries using smaller vehicles?
Trucks fly down this street at high speeds in an attempt to avoid traffic on Flatbush Ave.
The bike and pedestrian crossings across Flatbush Ave onto the plaza are blocked by trucks stuck in traffic every rush hour.
55' trucks try to make this turn onto 4th Ave and get stuck in the pedestrian crossing and cause traffic.
Trucks park in the "protected bike lane" here to deliver to the residential tower. Need to head into traffic lane or onto sidewalk to avoid them.
Almost got run over by a truck here while in the painted "bike lane".
Ideal Food basket has no dedicated truck parking zone when it restocks the supermarket. This causes massive traffic jams, constant honking and blocks the bus. Police get called in once in a while to clear congestion.
