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

Trucks often attempt to go down Orchard Open Streets during pedestrian-only hours.
Trucks of all sizes speed down this road to get to the Prospect Expressway entrance
Trucks often drive down Conselyea street if there is truck traffic on Metropolitan. However, the street is narrow and there are 2 elementary schools within 2 blocks. The trucks often get stuck trying to turn left on Graham Avenue.
Dangerous coroner! Multiple perfection and biker breaths in recent years
Congestion from trucks on Caton Ave is a big problem in this neighborhood
Trucks and cars from the auto repair shops and especially from the auto sound shop has impaired the health of the residents residing on this street. With all the complaints nothing has been done.
Truck routinely speed through the light at Caton and Ocean Parkway, even though there's a school, playground, and library within one block of here.
I see massive trucks regularly outside of the limit traveling on Caton - I live at this intersection. I've never seen enforcement of these trucks.
There is a school on the street, I have two small children who cross the street daily. I worry for their safety with such big trucks who might not see my child and endanger them.
Very narrow roads. Accident waiting to happen between trucks , buses and parked cars.
