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

Semi-trailer truck proceeded to drive toward a pedestrian as they were crossing the street 07/09/2024 while making an illegal right turn onto Meeker. The traffic light for that turn was red.
Trucks making right turns turn into pedestrians and can only get so far if there is another truck stopped in the opposite direction. I've nearly been hit because of this three times this year. On 07/09/24 a large motorcoach bus was making this right turn as I was crossing the street -- as I got halfway across and cleared the bus the semi-truck that was stopped at a red light proceeded to make a right turn slowly driving into my path. Probably to make room for the bus -- but not seeing me as I was near its grill. I got across the road. But this is a dangerous cross -- especially with tall vehicles that have major blind spots when it comes to pedestrians.
Trucks in this area are constantly idling for more than three minutes while unloading or loading in the docking area. They are also idling for long periods of time while doubled parked on 147th Ave between 184st and 181st waiting for a bay to pull in their truck. Small Package Express located on 147-20 184th and 147-15 on 183st is a big problem with this idling and horn blowing in a residential community across for it. Why aren't there any warning signs of fines for idling or horn blowing? I'd complained about this in the past and it was approved by DOT# DOT-531712-T1Y8 - Truck Signs. But I seen none to very, very little improvements since. They claimed they put one sign up at a location that I was not concern about. This is an viromental concern that we have been fighting and putting up with for years. Thank you Keith Wingfield Community Advocate
Trucks are speeding along Van Brunt all the time.
the with of this road and the desire to "catch the light" creates dangerous conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. I often see trucks on this road that are not doing local deliveries.
This is a no-truck street and trucks are constantly coming through. The road narrows at the end of the block and sometimes the bigger trucks have to back up all the way to Nassau. A fleet of FedEx trucks in particular speeds through every morning.
When trucks are carrying a container of smelly trash, it stinks especially bad at the intersection of Metro, Bushwick, and Orient. I don't know why. Maybe the wind.
Unprotected bike path on Union hurls cyclists into traffic as everyone rushes to cross Metropolitan as soon as the light changes.
There is a daycare right on Greenpoint Ave, which makes pick up and drop off extremely dangerous with toddlers running and trucks passing by very fast. Sidewalks are not set up to protect the pedestrians and the truck circulation is intense due to ongoing construction work on West st. and all the Walton TV/cinema trucks coming and going every single day. This is leading to very dangerous situations. Trucks must be re-routed to protect pedestrians, and specifically children.
Super confusing for cyclists heading east because bike lane is in the middle of the street and we have to compete with trucks and pedestrians to reach the intersection before the light changes.
