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

There are constantly trucks speeding up and down this road. Especially through the red lights. This should not be a truck route
Trucks often double parked here to unload for CVS. It's marked no parking in front of CSV most of the day which is maybe for truck loading but no one respects it and NYPD doesn't enforce it
Trucks regularly parked in and blocking bike lanes on both sides on Old Fulton
This stretch of Park Pl comes to a standstill and is often totally blocked every weekday because trucks cannot access the curb due to parking. The curb is mostly marked truck loading zones but no one abides by it. Many city employees/NYPD parking here with placards but my understanding is that's not legal.
Trucks and cars routinely park in the "protected" bike lane in the gap in the barriers here making it entirely unusable because you cannot get into or out of the lane with the truck parked up against the barriers. NYPD does no enforcement
Nearly constant speeding private garbage trucks late at night (after 11pm or so, until 2-3am). This has gone on for years, I've never seen any enforcement. Why are they coming down here, and why so late?!
Trucks routinely park in the protected bike lane to make deliveries. Add loading zones and remove some of the parking spots.
Trucks block the bike lane here to make deliveries. Remove the parking across the street and make a truck loading zone.
This intersection is a disaster. There is an EMERGENCY ROOM here and it cannot be accessed by anybody because there is so much traffic at all times. Trucks routinely block the crosswalks, block the intersection, etc. Trucks should not be on this road, especially on a roadway that has heavy pedestrian traffic and is right next to a hospital. Stop thinking about highway planning and think about *city* planning. You're the department of transportation, not the department of cars/trucks.
Large 18 wheeler trucks are causing noise and emission pollution, danger to pedestrians, and traffic jams all up and down Metropolitan Ave. DOT needs to take action to reroute these trucks to major roads and keep them out of our neighborhood.
