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

Commercial Street is a mess! I know it's under construction, but thousands of people and children are moving in here and the trucks are flying through.
Jofaz schoolbuses are frequently speeding down Columbia Street into the residential area. I have seen a pedestrian hit by a Jofaz school bus on the corner of West 9th and Columbia.
Trucks illegally pass on West 9th St. on a daily basis off of the assigned truck route
Trucks are constantly speeding down Clinton Street, turning while pedestrians are in the middle of Hamilton Avenue, and running red lights.
There should be a truck route sign on the 33rd Street overpass segment. Hoyt Avenue and Astoria Blvd N/S are truck routes and the intersection of these with 33rd Street is wide, offering trucks room to turn onto 33rd Street and then onto the RFK Bridge. Much better route than turning on narrower residential streets 24th Avenue and 29th Street to get onto the RFK Bridge from the local truck route network currently.
Highly dangerous intersection for pedestrians and cyclists because of trucks driving on a heavily residential street. The truck route on 24th Avenue should be eliminated.
Dangerous turns of large trucks (tractor trailers) making scary narrow turns from Bay Street on to Hylan Boulevard heading toward Staten Island Expressway (SIE) causing severe safety issues for cars and pedestrians (children) going to P.S.13 on Hylan Boulevard which is a very narrow street with alot of morning rush hour traffic also. Instead, these trucks can continue on Bay St to School Road, a much wider street where they can easily turn and head to the SIE without causing a tragedy.
Difficult truck turn WB on Ninth Ave to W 15th Street due to heavy pedestrian volume
