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

there is a citibike station here, which is great, but all of the amazon vans and huge trucks and buses make it hard for cyclists to get on van brunt
i see HUGE buses trying to turn this corner here all the time. it takes them a long time because its a tight corner, meanwhile their exhaust wafts into the schoolyard.
there is a public elementary school right here - hundreds of polluting trucks should NOT be driving right in front of the main playground everyday
huge semis turn here - it is NOT designed for that. they damage the trees while turning
The trucks barrel through without regard for the safety of children at the school or pedestrians crossing the street. They make dangerous turns that put people at risk every day. I see constant incidents. It’s horrible that the city allows a trucking route next to a school - isn’t children’s safety important?
Trucks use 4the place between court and Henry streets as a throughway to the tunnel and BQE. The street used to have a no trucks allowed sign at court street, but it went missing. Everything from semi trucks to large shipping trucks gob down this narrow street. Sometimes they hit trees and cars.
Many double parked cars and trunks creating a jam where buses can't get by. Delivery people on bikes decide to get through by any means possible. Usually on the sidewalk which are crowded by shoppers.
This is a tough turn for trucks because Henry Street is narrow with cars parked on both sides, and on more than one occasion trucks have hit the poles/signs on the corners. Sometimes trucks are forced to take this turn because Henry is so narrow so they can't continue down, but the turn itself is also very tricky. Trucks should not be going on this route.
This portion of Henry street is VERY narrow and I have witnessed many accidents where trucks have hit cars parked along the sides (sometimes resulting in hit and runs), or had to back out and try to make challenging turns, taking out street poles/signs. Trucks should not be allowed to go this way. It's stressful for the drivers and residents.
saint john’s place between nostrand and new york avenues are dangerous for pedestrians and traffic, too skinny and we need a truck restriction. thanks.
