Trucks turning right on to Pennsylvania Avenue often have conflicts with pedestrians that have right of way at this intersection.
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
Trucks turning right on to Pennsylvania Avenue often have conflicts with pedestrians that have right of way at this intersection.
Tractor trailers making right turns often get stuck in this intersection due to parked cars obstructing turn. Clear signage should be posted to avoid right turns by trucks when possible.
Trucks often double park blocking roadway to make deliveries. Leads to one lane open for both directions.
Speeding trucks all day
There is a large distance between Bushwick and Olive Ave, and both cars and trucks consistently speed with so much road ahead of them. My suggestion is a speed bump that crosses Metropolitan Ave at Orient.
Biking is unsafe / often not possible lane is too narrow and trucks take up too much of the space. The road should be one way
Trucks fly through the Metropolitan - Graham intersection!
This shouldn't be a truck route- it slows down the bus. Local delivieries only in vans. Need Loading zones on the cross streets, but this is a people arterial, not goods.
Trucks parked all the time
