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

one lane traffic but drivers would just drive over the bike lane. This street has heavy truck traffic because trucks would drive north, turn right onto 40th and then Crescent onto the Queensboro Bridge.
Very large and long trucks get stuck at the intersection trying to turn left onto Caton. It’s also extremely dangerous for pedestrians trying to cross.
Extreme amounts of truck traffic on McDonald. The air and noise pollution is awful for residents.
Air quality, speed of trucks, and noise
Huge vehicles come roaring down this residential street populated with kids. It's dangerous, loud, and terrifying. Very risky to try and cross the street.
This is a very dangerous intersection for pedestrians crossing Ocean Pkwy. Please increase dedicated crossing time for people crossing to the east side of OP.
This is an intersection where very large trucks get stuck occasionally and cause major congestion. Better signage about where to turn from may help.
Dangerous road to cross. Speeding trucks use this as a BQE alternative route and is not safe for the neighborhood.
Church Ave feels way too narrow to be a truck route. Between the trucks, cars, buses, bikes and pedestrians, this street has become dangerous.
Not a truck route, yet trucks consistently speed down this road (even through red lights)
