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

For some strange reason it’s not letting me choose the right streets but for the love of God please tell empire merchants back in the day they were called PEARLESS. Their truck drivers come flying late at night and into early mornings all empty from Norman Avenue all the way to the BQE. They do this to avoid I guess the lights on mcguinness boulevard but still what they’re doing isn’t right at all even tho there are signs on the left and right sides stating only local deliveries only but they’re not making any bc they’re empty and how I can tell is they’re doing 50MPH flying down Humboldt street. Somebody needs to do something about this and then and put them to an end otherwise I know someone will get hurt one day or maybe even a parked vehicle might get hit too. Do something DOT OR NYPD. ENFORCE THE RULES THAT YOU POST!!
Hard for big trucks to turn on to India street corner West and hard for them to turn off India on to Franklin St.
India St. in general is a narrow street. In addition, India St. between West & Franklin is a street where children play on the sidewalk and sometimes on the actual street + a daycare center on said street. Ever since the construction site knocked down the No Through Traffic, trucks started coming down the street fast and there were a few near misses. The next street over India St. between Franklin St. & Manhattan Ave. has the No Through Traffic sign still up so all trucks have to make an additional turn which creates another liability.
Going way too fast in residential area
Metropolitan Ave is a very busy pedestrian route and I've seen multiple occasions of pedestrians almost getting squashed by truck drivers who were not paying attention. It is a horrible place for trucks to be and they should be routed elsewhere
traffic at this intersection, especially when large vehicles struggle to turn, backs things up for blocks on a regular basis along greenpoint toward manhattan, and truck drivers tend to respond poorly to this. this creates all kinds of noise problems which inevitably contributes negative energy to the drivers, pedestrians, and residents in the area. negative energy could lead to panicked driving, road rage, and other conflicts or risky behavior, including upticks in noise complaints which could cause police to waste time on non-urgent matters
The intersection of India St and West St is the main thoroughfare for pedestrians coming to and from the Greenpoint ferry, and with no pedestrian crossing and a nearby construction site where trucks are constantly making deliveries, it's a recipe for disaster.
The corner of Greenpoint Avenue and McGuiness Boulevard is dangerous for pedestrians. Trucks turning onto McGuiness Boulevard from Greenpoint Ave seem not to care a pedestrian is crossing the boulevard. They feel we will jump out of the way due to their size. i mean, me v. an 18 wheeler.
Trucks tend to speed on this area rinse they know the camera is behind them if they're going NB. There needs to be more speed enforcement and more severe consequences for truck drivers if speeding. There are a lot of children on these intersections with McGuinness.
