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

the zig zag on Cortelyou across CIA is an accident waiting to happen. help please. it's nuts. i've seen lotta close calls and jams the fire truck gets stuck at.
that left off of CIA is nuts
Bad air from all the exhausts and buses
Air is terrible from all the truck exhaust. I had cancer last year.
No crosswalk, stop sign or light here with a lot of neighborhood children crossing over New York Avenue. Trucks speeding plus no crosswalk makes kids run to get to the other side.
Trucks roar down SJP. Terrifying.
Illegal Truck Traffic traveling on New York Avenue speeding and making it very dangerous for our kids to cross at Lincoln. There is no crosswalk or light at Lincoln which makes it even more dangerous. Trucks go 40 miles per hour and more trying to make lights. Our community wants speed bumps but because the b44 is here....we are told no by DOT. Trucks shouldn't be making it so dangerous and scary for our kids
SJP too narrow for all the trucks that illegally use this passage heading east.
Trucks (both box trucks and tractor trailers) attempt to use Park Place as a thru route as an alternative to Atlantic. Then they get stuck due to narrow streets (or the miserably timed light at 7th ave) and there’s endless honking that affects quality of life for residents and pedestrians on what should be peaceful residential side streets. Trucks shouldn’t be on the street at all.
Heavy volume of trucks creates air pollution and noise concerns for residents on this block, of which there are many and more are coming as new buildings come up.
