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

The heavy vibrations from these trucks are causing cracks in my home’s walls. This is unacceptable. The noise is unbearable and the smog is affecting our health. We need to change this truck route immediately!
The trucks passing my house are excessively loud and cause noticeable vibrations that damage my home. They also emit a lot of smog. It's crucial to find an alternative route for these trucks to protect our homes and health
"I'm writing to express concern about the heavy truck traffic on our street. The noise and vibrations are causing structural damage to my home, and the pollution is affecting our health. A new truck route is essential for the well-being of our community."
The constant noise and vibrations from trucks passing by my house are unbearable. They shake the house and cause damage inside. Additionally, the smog they leave behind is unhealthy. Please consider rerouting the truck traffic to improve our living conditions."
The constant noise and vibrations from trucks passing my house are unbearable. They not only disrupt my peace but also cause structural damage to my home. Additionally, the smog they leave behind severely impacts air quality. To ensure a safer, quieter, and healthier environment for residents, I urge the authorities to relocate the truck route.
Trucks barreling down McDonald Ave. Most can barely stop at the light at Fr Hamilton. I hear screeching breaks and there have been multiple accidents. When they are able they just keep going and ignore the red lights. Very dangerous.
Dangerous multi entrance intersection with trucks going through. Evading traffic lights. And everyone is desperate to turn onto Caton and pedestrians are left to dodge traffic. Terrible place for a truck route.
Semis should not be allowed on most city streets. Our streets are two narrow and trucks pose many hazards to our safety, to the environment, to the integrity of our streets and over all quality of life.
Trucks speed down this stretch of Linden Blvd when traffic allows and often run red lights late at night.
Wow, this small stretch of Caton Ave is considered a truck route and part of Rt 27?! Small local delivery trucks have no problem making the turn from Bedford Ave Southbound, but tractor-trailers cannot safely make this turn from Bedford Ave southbound. Several cars parked on the corner of Bedford and Caton have been destroyed by a long truck attempting to make this turn. Tractor trailers have to drive up onto Captain Oakey Square to increase the radius, often taking out the stop sign at the curb. Even if a tractor-trailer uses a trucking GPS (which most don't), including this street as a truck route makes it seem possible to use the street to connect with Rt 27, even though it is not possible and very dangerous.
