Projects & Initiatives Site Policy

We Want Your Input on NYC's Truck Route Network

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

My number one concern about the location of our school is this corner. It’s a disaster waiting to happen having those trucks trying to make the light or just speeding past the crosswalk. Maybe if it was a high school but these are babies! 5, 6, 7 and 8 year olds. If anything could be done to remedy it, it would be worth it.

Trucks are going through red light which is extremely dangerous especially when school is entering and dismissing. They make extremely wide turns.

Yes, in my opinion, they should close the avenue at the time of entry and exit of the students, because the truth is that it is very dangerous when children cross third avenue, I saw the other time that some students were almost run over at the exit of the school

Trucks are speeding and not careful when turning. Trucks are beeping and rushing to move. Trucks at times don't follow the traffic signs.

The big concern on 60th Street and 3rd Avenue is that right on this corner there are two elementary schools. It is a busy avenue and hundreds of trucks of all sizes pass by a day! I really think that in this area trucks should be given another route. Thanks a lot!
