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 parked illegally in bike lane, conflict with cyclists and scooters.
difficult turn due to perpetual construction and an already narrow road.
i've seen so many trucks trying to negotiate this turn from 21st street onto Broadway almost take out pedestrians and cars alike. it is too narrow, there is perpetually construction on this block, and there is a high school on this block, making for a very dangerous potential for fatalities.
Trucks use this road as a truck route and a shortcut. They speed down this street too frequently, this street should be marked as a non truck route and penalties given to truck drivers who don't follow the law
Clinton St right off the Williamsburg Bridge is a narrow street with frequent road blockages due to cars and other delivery trucks stopped on the side of the road, which does not allow trucks to go around. This leads to back ups on the Williamsburg Bridge. If trucks are recommended to continue going down Delancey and turn onto Essex, that is a wider street that will allow for less back ups. Also, turning on to Clinton St (which is the first street after the bridge) does not result in any time savings because most trucks go down Clinton and then turn left on to Houston to continue going where they need to go.
Large trucks speed through the lights making the residential block of Beadel Street hard to cross.
Trucks often seen running red lights, speeding through difficult intersection. Difficult in navigation, and visibility. Poor design/enforcement.
Sharp left, trucks often seen cutting off pedestrians, running red lights.
On Horace Harding (service road), semi’s often parked overnight/blocking hydrants, bus stops, and driveways. Sometimes trailers left for days without tractors.
On Horace Harding (service road), aggressive driving from semis often parked overnight
