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 use this ramp to deviate from the designated truck route, causing excessive traffic in the upcoming intersection
Intersection is always heavily congested with traffic, both from light-duty and medium/heavy-duty vehicles. Traffic lights are often disregarded, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass through due to chaotic congestion. Excessive noise and poor air quality is also an issue.
An epicenter for poor air quality due to too many truck routes encircling one area. Continuous traffic all day that conflicts with students entering/exiting school
An epicenter for poor air quality due to too many truck routes encircling one area.
NYCHA development surrounded by truck routes. Exposure to truck exhaust & noise diminishes the community's quality of life. The DOH represents this area as having one of the highest asthma attack rates.
Heavily trafficked intersection where there is also a lot of foot traffic. Excessive noise is also an issue. Way too many truck routes encircle this central location where so many community members resort to for resources.
Nearby schools exposed to heavy truck traffic that cause poor air quality and compromised health for students and teachers
These streets have a lot of pedestrian traffic and the sreet is narrow with two way traffic. Large trucks barreling down the street cause safety issues for personal property and pedestrians
This usually creates difficulties for trucks to turn because of the congestion and the truck blocks the intersection for over 20 minutes trying to manage the turn
This intersection is extremely dangerous. The trucks attempting to make the turn block the view of the cross walk for drivers who try to cut past the trucks as they make the turn onto the expressway. The drivers speed around the slow moving truck, and have nearly hit myself and my child in her stroller numerous times. It is a complete mess of buses, trucks, and drivers - all violating the rules and signage. Meanwhile, a police cruiser sits half a block away and Ocean Parkway issuing speeding tickets to drivers coming off the Chuch Ave exit, but ignoring the constant near-misses in the intersection.
