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

Extremely unsafe area due to massive speeding trucks 24/7
Tight turn for trucks, difficult cross walk creating traffic hazard for pedestrian
The pollution from the trucks is horrible! My house is covered in soot! The air is awful to breathe. There are so many young children on this block breathing this air--we have three pre-schools on this block!
The trucks keep getting bigger and heavier! So many trucks exceed the lawful length requirement for this street. They are a safety hazard to pedestrians and cause unnecessary pollution.
The truck speed down this one-way street so fast, and there are now tons of pedestrians on this street (with the many new condos built), as well as three (!) pre-schools!
Delivery trucks idle all day long from Regina caterers on 86 Beadel street.
This is already a toxic area and the idling trucks all day long along with the blocked road way is unacceptable next to a residential street.
Horrific intersection. There are 2 new buildings being constructed directly across each other here on Bushwick Ave at Metro, with the truck traffic added gridlocks are common. Trucks blocking intersection to beat red light. Construction not leaving enough room for 2 way traffic to pass each other safely as they have half a lane on each side with cones to allow construction trucks to park. Super dangerous to cross with limited visibility for drivers and pedestrians due to scaffolding and blocked intersections. This area is now increasingly residential, with children and bikers. Dangerous.
Vehicles traveling east along Cortelyou across Coney Island do not give way to pedestrians on the crosswalk. It's a jagged intersection with unclear stoplines. When it's a long truck, the problem is exacerbated by not being able to fit the vehicle in the available lane space.
Trucks are frequently double parked, blocking the bicycle lane, blocking traffic, and obscuring the crosswalks. Dangerous to pedestrians, bicyclists, and traffic in the other direction.
