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:

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

Constant honking, traffic blockages, and congestion at this intersection. The noise is shortening my lifespan and the buildup of cars is a danger to public health
There’s non-stop trucks lined up through Metropolitan avenue at all hours. I’ve seen many interfere with both bicycle and foot traffic, and they also cause extreme levels of noise pollution in this residential area. They are also ruining the roads, causing damage including many pot holes that make this area dangerous for others who use the street.
The new food truck commissary kitchen gets delivery from large trucks and they back onto the sidewalk to deliver. They block the entire sidewalk and south side and block the full traffic lane. They idle while making the deliveries which is loud and emits too much exhaust. This is a mostly residential street and is making it difficult to travel on.
I was almost killed by an 18 wheeler this morning while driving my kids to school. This is no place for this level and size of trucks to be moving through a heavily populated area with schools, subways and shops.
double-parked trucks make it hard for bikes
difficult to get around double-parked trucks
trucks should not be commuting around the school
trucks should not be commuting by the school
the whole corner shakes from the huge semis speeding down this tiny road
this tiny 2 lane road is not built for semi trucks
