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:

Trucks are speeding through this area constantly (Right next to a school!!!) and I've repeatedly seen them blow through red lights and nearly take out a kid or someone walking their dog
Horribly dangerous potholes/craters. Large trucks come through here and kick up chunks of pavement. Had my windshield cracked from them. Also, unhealthy noise disturbances due to how loud this is.
I am a 78 year old senior , and I am afraid to cross the street especially from 2pm till 8 , you are taking your life in your hands, traffic is horrible especially with the trucks,who ever decided to put the highway passing 3 schools was not thinking. Thats for sure, I seemed the trucks speed to beat the red light, please look into this problem and help us.
The truck route via McDonald Ave to Caton Ave is extremely polluting to all residents and the schools. Horrible diesel fumes emanate via all the trucks stopping at multiple lights and the sheer volume of trucks on a daily basis. The volume is also extremely loud as these trucks role down the street stopping and restarting. It is also extremely dangerous as there is not enough room for all these trucks in this residential space. Additionally the roadway is very degraded with multiple potholes.
This intersection is a major contributor of eastbound caton congestion because traffic waiting for pedestrians block other motor traffic. Dedicate pedestrian and motor crossing periods.
Trucks are driving through the 50th Ave of Sunnyside and there is a school along with many families and elderly people. Trucks continue to come here even after several 311 calls/complaints. Please fix this issue.
Trucks double park all day long blocking the road and cars.
Trucks hit the bridge for the train/rail all the time height keeps changing
No pedestrian walkway. Trucks take wide turns here often barely missing pedestrians.
Experienced cyclist and truck almost crashed several times
