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

Large trucks pass through this small residential street for some reason. Also a bus route, which creates constant traffic and pollution from idling trucks.
Trucks get stuck in this intersection and in pedestrian crosswalks, I need to walk into car traffic at least once a day to walk around a truck.
Major traffic here of cars trying to get onto the LIE eastbound from Southbound Clearview. Trucks bypass this traffic by going to the next exit (73rd avenue) and getting off there and going back onto the highway from the other direction to get onto the LIE. There are traffic lights both at the end of the exit ramp and again to get back onto the highway. This causes MAJOR traffic delays trying to get off the highway. This is a one lane road (each way) and only 1-2 trucks can exit at a time waiting for the next light to get back onto the highway. Something needs to be done to fix the traffic jam here, prevent trucks from using the 73rd avenue exit or remove the lights and replace with stop signs to speed up the jam situation at 73rd avenue exit.
We've had trucks get stuck at this intersection and damage pedestrian signals and sidewalk scaffolding.
Constant speeding and honking trucks at night.
Parkside is not supposed to be truck route. Why are there trucks on it?
Major truck traffic when trucks try to restock Lincoln Market supermarket and get stuck in the street with a combination of cars, MTA buses and pedestrians existing the subway station.
Trucks frequently stop in the middle of the pedestrian crosswalk.
There is a sign on the Clearview expressway saying that trucks should not use this exit unless for local deliveries. The sign is too far away from the exit. Due to the excessive traffic issues of trucks trying to get onto the EAST bound LIE from the Southbound Clearview, trucks get off at 73rd avenue and then back on the NORTHBOUND clearview to get onto the LIE. Bypassing traffic but creating a horrible traffic jam trying to get off the exit to 73rd avenue - which is where I live. Because the trucks are so large and they must wait until the light to get back onto the clearview, only one to two trucks can exit at a time, creating a long wait to get off the highway. Sign needs to be more prominent and closer to the exit and on BOTH sides of the exit. There should be better enforcement to prevent trucks from using this as a bypass route.
Trucks turning from Parkside Ave (not a truck route) onto Flatbush Ave get stuck in traffic here every day as they can't make the turn.
