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

Kings Highway from Bay Parkway to Ocean Ave only has one lane of traffic in each direction. This is a heavily trafficked commercial corridor not well suited as a designated truck route. Should be redesignated for local deliveries only.
In addition to trucks turning here being dangerous for pedestrians, the difficulty of the turn, and the majority of trucks turning left when going North on Flatbush, often means trucks take the entire length of the light to make the turn, blocking through traffic for the entire length of the light and significantly slowing down other vehicles as only one vehicle can get through the light per change, specifically the B41 bus that runs up and down Flatbush, that many rely on for timely transport.
This is a busy truck route, especially overnight (which is when it's most annoying). This impacts general health (sleep quality) for the residents in this area. My complaint is especially focused on the block between 17th & 18th Streets on 5th Avenue, and involves local deliveries as well (too many trucks making loud deliveries here before 7am). Please help to stop the illegal truck/delivery noise overnight, thanks!
the trucks are incredibly dangerous and a hazard to the elementary school
Vandervoort ave has constant idling of trucks that block the streets. This is already on top of the meeker plume and considered a toxic area. Vandervoort should not be allowed to be a loading zone.
Terribly dangerous to cycle alongside tractor trailers.
Trucks idling right next to residential buildings.
Always trucks speeding, especially commercial garbage trucks at night.
Due to BQE congestion, many 18-wheelers and oversized commercial vehicles use this a bypass. Can there be a sign placed here to explain the restrictions as it is causing an unsafe condition.
SIM DOT lot trucks drive in and out without regard for pedestrians. Can they go back to using the port terminal entry and exit?
