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

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.
Trucks are frequently parked in the unprotected bike lane which many people use to get to work. Makes commutes very unsafe, especially on such a wide road where vehicles speed
E. 17th between Broadway and Park Ave South should be de-designated. It no longer makes sense as the e/w connection it once was.
Needs more tree cover and green infrastructure, especially by the bus stop
There is so much truck idling here and on surrounding intersections due to the amount of traffic congestion during peak hours. NYC DOT needs to reduce the volume of vehicles by downsizing the number of travel lanes. There also needs to be much more tree canopy and green infrastructure because it is almost entirely asphalt, like a parking lot, and it's all impermeable surfaces that don't absorb stormwater and makes the area significantly hotter in the summer.
This is one of the intersections in Astoria with the most foot traffic. Trucks, especially tractor trailers, frequently attempt to make turns in limited space that jam up foot and vehicular traffic.
Narrow roadway
This is a very narrow street with a "sharrow" bike lane that does not provide adequate protection for cyclists from trucks or cars. It is very dangerous for cyclists to maneuver alongside trucks here. Greater physical separation of cyclists and trucks needed.
This is a narrow street with a "sharrow" bike lane that does not provide adequate protection for cyclists from trucks or cars. There is also a playground along the street, and a ferry stop people walk to. Greater physical separation of cyclists and trucks needed.
This is a "sharrow" bike lane that is completely unprotected on this truck route. There needs to be clear separation of bikes and trucks, especially because cars double park on both sides. There is also a bike crossing into the park that has no traffic control devices, which is dangerous for park users and cyclists.
