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

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

Caton Avenue between St. Paul's Place and Ocean Avenue. There is zero truck parking there even though it's a truck route. It's so bad that trucks often park on the sidewalk in front of the subway station house. There is no way this is a good truck route.
Caton Avenue has one lane in each direction, with parking on both sides. People are constantly double parked here due to lack of parking in the area. Trucks get stuck here constantly behind double parkers and blow their horns loudly all night and day. They also bounce loudly over the subway cut bridge right next to our building. The truck drivers seem frustrated with the traffic congestion here which is extreme all day. It can take someone 20 minutes to drive one mile here, based on personal experience with that or being picked up.
Caton Avenue is only one lane in each direction and a bus route, and people are constantly double parked. The tricks blow their horns loudly all night and all day due to the congestion and traffic. We live on first floor right next to it. It's hard to get adequate sleep with all the noise pollution.
This intersections is scary and unsafe for families and kids. It's one of the few ways to get to Pier 6 park but it is nerve racking and scary.
Trucks going on this street speed and have damaged cars trying to get through a street that it's too narrow.
Speeding trucks, dangerous for pedestrians and bikers.
SINCE LAWS ARE NOT ENFORCED THINGS ARE WORSE THAN EVER AROUND HERE AND ALL OVER THE 5 BOROUGHS IN TERMS OF TRUCK TRAFFIC I will say it again things are worse than ever I think by design and We need to elect new leaders on the local, city,state and federal level
I constantly see near misses. here where people, especially children, are crossing the street to get to the ballfields and the ping-pong tables, or on their way to the park nearly get murdered by gigantic speeding Trucks. It is tragedy waiting to happen.
Pearl & York has been greatly improved by the addition of the stop sign, however more needs to be done to improve safety and speeding cars/trucks here. Drivers often blow through this intersection and stop sign. A raised sidewalk, curb bump outs, or other safety improvements for pedestrians are needed here.
Off ramp from bridge is in direct conflict with cyclists and pedestrian lane. Drivers disobey lights and just plow through this intersection. Add on top of this the entire interchange is a massive air quality and environmental issue, with traffic filling this entire corridor daily.
