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

Speeding trucks throught this residential street, trucks should be limited to victory and bay street
NYCDOT and NYSDOT need to work together to raise bridges on the Belt Parkway so it can be designated as a Through Truck Route for destinations between Staten Island and Long Island. This would have a beneficial impact on the BQE - reducing truck traffic and resultant congestion allowing the BQE to be redesigned with 2 travel lanes in each direction. Remember - peak demand is the main criteria in designing road capacity. So spreading the demand will reduce the BQE demand and resultant bottleneck congestion.
We can barely breathe the air someday. We shouldn't have any trucks in this neighborhood. There is nowhere for them to park, no room for their maneuvering, and their is excessive danger and risk to kids, cyclists and older people who live here.
No trucks or commercial traffic on the grand concourse. The pollution is terrible. My sons have asthma.
Too many tractor trailers on Metropolitan Avenue - a heavy pedestrian residential and retail area. This is a danger to our citizens, I've personally witnessed a truck striking a pedestrian at this very intersection. There are too many children and dogs here to have trucks speeding by at regular intervals. A truck crashed into and destroyed the Popeyes Chicken up the block!!! If they can't keep from hitting an entire building how are we to trust they won't run over our friends, families and pets???
Regarding Metropolitan Avenue: Overwhelming traffic from trucks and the physical danger, noise, and pollution that come with them are no longer appropriate for an avenue which has become increasingly residential over the past 20 years. As a long time resident of the neighborhood, I've witnesses car and pedestrian collisions involving large trucks in increasing numbers. I constantly sweep the debris and clean the soot from the face of my home. I fear for the safety of my loved ones. Metropolitan Avenue is a happy walkable home to New Yorkers and with countless new residential developments, will only continue to be more so. Please re-route trucks to a less populated area!
Trucking network forcing trucks through our neighborhood streets. Ever since The City changed the Prospect from a highway to an expressway, forcing trucks to get off on Mcdonald Avenue exit and then riding down Caton Avenue through our neighborhood. Please change the Expressway back to allow trucks to exit on Church ave. One of my neighbors on Caton Avenue has fought against City Hall on this issue for years, even before a truck ran off the road and knocked down his tree and destroyed his wrought iron fence. Another problem trucks exiting on Mcdonald Ave presents is the backed up traffic on the Prospect Expressway. This creates a terrible risk for accident. Now that same back up is happening on the Fort Hamilton exit. True redesign please and Thank you
Trucks speed along flatbush regularly
