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

Trucks block intersection turning off Dyer Ave regularly, blocking pedestrians, buses through traffic
The whole corridor
Where is the thru truck route sign toward the Lincoln Tunnel, please?
"No Turns Except Buses" would push trucks off the local truck route. Please somehow exempt trucks from the turning ban or extend the local truck route eastward?
Please consider exempting trucks from the left turn ban from westbound Northern Boulevard (thru truck route) to southbound Main Street (local truck route), at least part time if not full time, to keep them on truck routes as nearby Prince Street is not a truck route.
Way too many trucks who speed. Dangerous for the pedestrians.
To much idle trucks and parking lot behind homes
Too many speeding box trucks creating a lot of noise, pollution, and disturbance in a residential neighborhoods. It’s impossible to be comfortable on this street. Would love the reduce the number of trucks passing on this residential street and/or limit times and speeds they are driving through here.
Get trucks off the street aand onto 11th which should be just like McGuiness Blvd in Greenpoint. No trucks on Jackson Ave allowed. Major problems. Loud as hell
Around noon today there were over 5 vehicles [3 delivery trucks & 3 vans/cars] situated in the bike lane - all with their motors running for at least 15 minutes. This was at one block between Thompson and Sullivan Streets on Prince Street. Other vehicles both east an west in front of hydrants and in parking spaces--- ALL WITH MOTORS RUNNING, HOW HEALTHY IS THAT!!! Complaints made but by the time 311 gets there, about an hour or 2 later, most of the vehicles are gone... but not all! HEALTH PROBLEMS CREATED BY THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD IN THE AREA. Sorry to say, I fell for poor areas of the city, but they are not the only ones being affected by this pollution.
