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

There is a public and several private schools in the area. The truck and old yellow bus emissions are high in CO2 and other pollutants, and harm young peoples' lungs! Do they care???
Pedestrians have to maneuver around trucks parked here. They have no way to see around them and cross safely.
Trucks speed on these roads; they stop and double-park on all of the commercial streets
Dangerous right and left turns
This is absolutely dangerous for all road users!
Trucks frequently speed dangerously at this intersection and regularly run red lights.
Trucks have a challenging time making the right turn onto Coney Island Avenue and often go over barriers separating the lanes of traffic to do so.
Trucks often speed here, in a residential area with a bike lane and heavy pedestrian traffic.
Broadway, 24-32 should be de-designated as a truck route. It is no longer part of a through route, it is very difficult to get to, and no longer gets you anywhere once you're on it. It has also been transformed into a shared street making some truck movements more difficult.
Broadway, 17-23 should be de-designated. It is no longer part of a through route, it is very difficult to get to, and no longer gets you anywhere once you're on it. It has also been transformed into a shared street making some truck movements more difficult.
