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

Old cobble stone street is covered in pot holes and extremely uneven paving overall. The pot holes are so bad that they have damaged the struts on my car multiple times. The pot holes are made worse by the large trucks that drive through everyday.
Too many trucks crossing a busy pedestrian and cycling intersection
I see trucks speeding up at yellow lights at this intersection to avoid the red lights. This poses safety issues for pedestrians, especially children, and cyclists.
Poor air quality due to truck traffic affects students in school
Many oversize trucks travel this route that should not be on local streets.
Trucks regularly speed through on red lights. Need red light camera here, crosswalk is unsafe and leads directly to a school.
Trucks too large for this street frequently take shortcut through
Road too narrow for trucks, often block crosswalks making it dangerous to cross even with the walk sign
Trucks parked here overnight, sometimes for several days. Drivers performing truck maintenance and repairs on the street. Vehicles idling for extended periods of time. Trees overhanging road and trucks hitting trees.
Trucks coming off Prospect Expressway down 19th street will make an illegal right hand turn, wrong way down a one way street to get down East 4th Street when 19th street dead ends. Have seen parents walking to school nearly being hit.
