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

a lot of congestion and pollution everywhere, all streets in this area around south 4th street, and graham avenue
I believe that the truck routes were necessary because it would be inefficient to get packages, get rid of the two way and making the streets smaller by taking away a lane however there's too many blocks on one street which leads to more pollution.
It's effecting everyone because it is polluting the air, comes at all times to do work when they are supposed to stop working at certain times. Regular people living here do not really get a voice unless we are a large amount if not nothing will change with the truck routes.
Smooth out the blocks because there are so many ditches and sewage clogging making the neighborhood look way better than what it is now. Trucks being packed into the streets, more maintenance throughout the community allergies because of pollution.
Raina truck making me mad I hate it
Precariously parked truck
Double parked trucks obstructing traffic on narrow street
lots of trucks always congested and backed up on roebling entering the bridge. too many trucks in this neighborhood and idling. on metropolitan too they are always backed up, since the 1970s.
Not much trouble with the truck but more the bikes. I almost got run over by the bikes on the streets. I had a friend of mine who was run over by a bike. The police knows but who knows what they're doing about it. I've only been hearing about the trucks and how people really dislike them because they're huge and park anywhere but I have more of an issue with the bikers.
Extreme noise pollution (ex having to yell over the cars) lots of trash on the ground
