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

Missing traffic signs with trucks and car driving while pedestrians with babies and children cross
I walk my dog in this intersection multiple times a day. There are nearly always speeding and oversize trucks blowing through the intersection, which is right next to an assisted living facility and fields where children play. It is an incredibly important intersection, and the current situation is very dangerous.
Oversize trucks struggle to make this turn on to the expressway — they are far too wide, making it dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists, and other drivers.
Bike, bus, and pedestrian flow on Church Ave is constantly blocked by parked trucks. Church Avenue should be a bus-only route like 14th St in Manhattan. Trucks moving through here make it very difficult on businesses and people.
This is a terrible intersection for pedestrians and cyclists. Large trucks making this turn make it that much more dangerous.
Tractor trailers constantly blocking crosswalks and intersection, preventing pedestrians from crossing safely
This stretch of road is thick with trucks and buses during rush hour to the point that the air is not breathable. We can't even keep windows open.
Trucks constantly blocking the box as they go through the yellow. impossible to cross the street at a green light. lights should be better timed or trucks should be rerouted to church ave until coney island avenue. caton between mcdonald and coney island ave is residential and tons of kids walking to more than 5 different schools, playgrounds, and a library right there.
And ocean parkway. There needs to be a green and red arrow instead of a yellow. red arrow plus pedestrian walk.
The intersection of Ocean Parkway and Church Ave is extremely dangerous! Trucks run the red lights constantly and block the intersection illegally. They turn onto Ocean Parkway from Church extremely quickly, refusing to yield to people in the crosswalks. They reduce visibility for cyclists and pedestrians
