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

High traffic intersection where trucks pose a serious danger. Light cycle on myrtle is confusing and leads to vehicles still moving through the intersection as peds begin crossing the street. Also here trucks park on the plaza or adjacent to the plaza creating visibility issues.
Oversize tractor trailers and dump trucks routinely use E36th and E37th street to cross midtown. They intimidate pedestrians at every corner
Lots of trucks turning into Laight St- need better signs and enforcement
Trucks speeding and running red light
INTERSECTION SHOULD INCLUDE A "LOCAL DELIVERIES ONLY" SIGN.
Church and Caton Avenue are so dangerous. Make them one direction instead of bi-directional. Eliminate left hand turns, get rid of street parking, create curb bump outs and breaking up the long sections so trucks and cars aren't speeding.
The entire bus lane on Church Ave is constantly blocked by trucks unloading goods for commercial businesses leading to honking, congestion, and delayed busses.
Church Avenue between Westminster and Flatbush is the worst section of Church Avenue. Police do not enforce ANY of the parking rules and this section of Church always gets backed up. People are double/triple parking, people using my block as a parking lot, business receive deliveries with over size trucks. It's a disaster.
Monitor has been an illegal cut through route for trucks for decades! There is a school and a park and huge trucks regularly speed through here.
