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:

Since the addition of the protected bike lane this particular stretch of 9th St cannot safely support speeding truck traffic. This particular block is the narrowest point on 9th St and trucks often engage in extremely unsafe behavior to maneuver through
Trucks fly through this complicated intersection especially when making turns. Because they’re coming off the BQE they seem to not realize that there are pedestrians in the area. Have witnessed many truckers (and drivers) speedily make blind turns as the light is turning red and almost take out pedestrians and cyclists in the process. As a resident living on 9th St between 3rd and 2nd Ave crossing the street at 3rd Ave is often an alarming experience
Trucks double and triple park here leading to large daily backups.
Trucks often turn here during the same light cycle and bikes trying to cross. A leading pedestrian interval, and turn calming would help significantly.
Trucks are speeding non stop
Obvious, dangerous conflict between large trucks and the constant stream of pedestrian/ bike traffic in Greenpoint. At this corner there is the American Playground and a citibike dock. Playgrounds and truck routes do not mix and present a real danger to our neighborhood’s children. Outside of this conflict, trucks are aggressive on Franklin Street and honk/ swerve/ idle.
Trucks frequently block the box, or run red lights, getting off the Manhattan Bridge or going to it. There is a bike lane across here that comes into conflict with these trucks
Lots of truck loading and unloading in the bike lane here.
Trucks regularly speeding to catch lights. Dangerous intersection. 2 memorials on corner for deceased cyclists
truck went down the road and could barely squeeze thru so bike lane was completely blocked. bike commuters taking their kids to early ed and school couldnt get by. cars piled up behind it as it tried to navigate the narrow road it shouldnt have been on
