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

Trucks regularly coming down residential street to avoid metropolitan. speeding and a lot of noise pollution!
Trucks do not stop at the light and run the stop sign on Morgan. Very dangerous to pedestrians. Business do not respect the residential area of Beadel street.
This corner is particularly bad and dangerous. Repeatedly trucks coming off imlay and turning down pioneer to turn again on Van Brunt to leave town get stuck and can’t make turn , backing up traffic and making difficult to safely cross the street . This is an unacceptable truck route and should stop immediately with police enforcement.
Absolutely too many trucks passing thru This area that is heavily populated residential. Speeding trucks to “get out of town” are commonplace where aggressive drivers do not respect that people live and SLEEP on this stretch of roadway. Children walk to school, bikes are commonplace for commuting,all are at risk with speeding trucks . Oversized trucks speeding cause vibrations that are having impact on the building foundations that line Van Brunt Street. My building at 277 is victim of this. These trucks must get off these public streets and be directed immediately to freeways,highways with strict enforcement!! Quality and safety of life is at risk if this is to continue without regard to people who make up this community! Stop an redirect the large trucks to the highways immediately,
The reduction of lanes on the BQE cantilever has made this stretch of Columbia Street the de facto on ramp for the highway. Impossible for people to get in and out of Red Hook with 20 minutes of traffic for the half mile to the highway on ramp.
No sidewalk due to dead construction site. Trucks turning can't see people
Red Hook in general has too much commercial truck traffic and the streets are narrow with difficult turns. This causes regular traffic backups when trucks are stuck trying to compete a turn without hitting light poles or parked cars. It also leads to many parked cars being damaged by trucks on a weekly basis.
Constant construction and deliveries bring pedestrian and cyclists in direct conflict with trucks
Frequent location of accidents -- vehicle vs. vehicle; vehicle vs. pedestrian; vehicle vs. cyclist.
Truck trailers turning here take parked cars out on the regular
