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.

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.

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

Atlantic Ave - Brooklyn Queens Expwy Et 27 Eb - Brooklyn Queens Expwy Et 27 Eb

This entire area is a nightmare for pedestrians and drivers alike. Drivers coming off the turn from Hicks street clog up the intersection nearby, causing gridlock and making it dangerous to cross the street. The on ramps to the BQE are terrifying to cross with my kids when we try to go to Brookly Bridge Park. Its time to close this onramp!

Limited Curb Access

Broadway - West 74 St - West 75 St

Coney Island Ave - Kermit Pl - Caton Ave

Recently a tractor trailer took out both street lights at the intersection leaving a dangerous four-way intersection without traffic lights for a couple days. At an intersection near several schools that is already dangerous to begin with, with four lanes of traffic, this was an incredibly dangerous situation.

"No through trucks" signage on 15th Street is insufficiently regarded and enforced. Westbound trucks are moving across 15th Street at all hours without any legitimate local stops. significant environmental and quality of life impacts as a result

Heavy truck and tractor-trailer truck traffic cause both noise and air pollution on residential streets as well as damage to the condition of the streets and risks to pedestrians.
