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

Trucks try to drive past double and triple parking cars (usually picking up food from Peppa's, Carvel or the bodega on Flatbush Ave/Woodruff). They swerve into oncoming traffic and into pedestrian crosswalks
I see massive 55' tractor-trailer trucks on Parkside Ave every single day, which is not a trucking route.
Trucks speed down Flatbush Ave here all night long, creating noise that wakes everyone. I don't have a single neighbor that hasn't told me they wake up at night 2-3 times a week because of a loud truck speeding or honking at 3am.
Church avenue is a high density commercial street with high pedestrian foot traffic and parking on both sides of a narrow street. This conflicts constantly with trucks speeding, running red lights, or blocking intersections creating poor traffic conditions and dangerous situations for pedestrians and bikers. Trucks should be limited to Caton Ave one block north or rerouted further south away on a one way street/without street parking.
Speeding trucks especially at night
Too narrow to accomodate volume of truck traffic
Trucks constantly blocking bike and pedestrians on street
69th Street is too narrow to accommodate the amount of truck traffic using the street. There are just too many trucks that are too large for the road. In addition, 69th Street has a shared bike lane, which should not be there because of the number of trucks. 69th Street is too narrow for both large trucks and bicycles to travel safely along the road in this area.
Traffic studies have shown that trucks don't use the northern half of McGuinness Blvd very much and when they do it creates dangerous conditions for pedestrians.
Traffic studies have shown that trucks don't use the northern half of McGuinnedd Blvd very much and when they do it creates dangerous conditions for people on bikes.
