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

All of Metropolitan is used as a passthrough for massive trucks and it's dangerous
Ice cream truck routinely double parks at this intersection blocking traffic and pedestrian safe crossing.
Trucks always blocking sidewalks and bike lane
Large trucks use this block as thought it is a truck route or even a through street. The street ends in a stop sign at 7th Ave, and is difficult for trucks at best. We need a "Local Traffic Only" sign, and trucks should be routed to Prospect Ave, one block south, which is a 2 way street that's much wider. We would also be very happy to replace our traffic light with a stop sign, as we had at 8th avenue for many years.
Another mess of a roadway with trucks taking over the small quaint lanes where they constantly double park or swerve into opposing lanes to avoid waiting for turns

Absolutely horrendous intersection congested with trucks turning in all directions, blocking roadways, crosswalks, and taking over space for pedestrians bikers and even guards managing the street.
Trucks should not be using Clinton avenue as a way to connect from the BQE and Myrtle up north, and should not be making routes to connect to Atlantic Avenue
Bad pedestrian AND bike signage on cross intersections, causing encroachment from trucks and cars onto bike and crosswalks. Needs serious redesign and enforcement given chaos around Atlantic Avenue
horrible truck speeding at all hours in addition to dangerous turns made onto side streets
