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

Signal timing is off. Trucks block intersection and trucks and cars coming from meeker service road can not make the left turn (difficult merge with cars coming off bridge and dangerous for peds and cyclists) need to look at timing or need additional signal to coordinate traffic.
Witness trucks going onto Jackie Robinson Parkway. Need better signage that states no trucks allowed. Saw a truck take down signal light right before entering Jackie.
Trucks often go through this residential street without stopping, just to avoid turning from Flushing to Knickerbocker. There's a small sign but that's not enough, it's very dangerous when they use this street as a through way instead of going to a truck route.
For the second day in a row! While taking my kids to SCHOOL I was almost struck by a huge truck which doesn’t fit on the street and nearly caused an accident . It was TERRIFYING and life threatening and sadly, I am not exaggerating. This is total bullshit!!!!
On June 24, 2024, an 18-wheeler truck crashed into a traffic light pole on NW and SW corners of Coney Island Avenue and Caton, in proximity of P.S. 130.
Countless Amazon trucks and vans use this street to get to a last mile warehouse further up the block. All of this air pollution compounds air pollution from the BQE that passes right next to a major athletic field where young people inhale these fumes.
Very little tree canopy/shade, shrubs, or green infrastructure here. Diesel truck pollution compounds power plant pollution next door, and there is no mitigation of this.
Major truck congestion, traffic, and idling next to a public park.
Lots of box trucks and tractor trailers head west on 36th Street and the latter sometimes turn south on 5th Avenue, despite not being a designated truck route. There is a school on this corner and it is difficult to make a left turn onto 5th Avenue going south due to a narrow turn intersection on that part of the avenue. Many of these trucks are thru trucks, not local deliveries.
Very narrow street for tractor trailers and cyclists to share a lane, especially with a lack of protected bike lanes here (it's a "sharrow" bike lane)
