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

I fear for my life every time I cross over to the Flushing protected bike path at Classon.
Construction and delivery trucks are constantly parking in the bike lane.
Trucks are extremely loud and honk at all times of the day.
I am a bike commuter who heads to Manhattan for work daily, and often to Williamsburg on the weekends. Unfortunately, I live far enough east that I have to ride on Flushing before the protected bike lane begins. I fear for my life every day and am often riding next to 18 wheelers heading to the BQE. There is no other good option for me to take, as Myrtle is only slightly less bad.
I have had several trucks threaten my children and me on the way to and from school. They think they own the road! Thank you for your attention.
There are traffic jams in this area, with idling trucks waiting to clear the area in the morning and evening rush hours. The trucks' exhaust is introducing a lot of air contaminants along Linden Avenue, which runs through a residential area.
Loading trucks are too large for the one lane block. Many are double parked to unload, along with CITI bike racks, this creates a traffic jam along Parkside Avenue between Flatbush and Bedford Avenue.
There is always a fresh direct truck parked here unloading groceries. In the street view of this pin there is literally one! It gets in the way of traffic, blocks road access, and takes up space when crossing the street.
Trucks that do not have a final location in Flatbush should not be allowed to use Caton Avenue on their route. It results in congestion, excessive noise from honking, engines, and engine breaking. The noise from the trucks can trigger alarms from parked cars on Caton to go off. This has a negative effect on the Flatbush community as it brings increased exhaust pollution, noise pollution, and the trucks are often speeding. Do not continue to allow trucks to use Caton Avenue on their routes.
