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

trucks do not abide by the no trucks sign here. need additional signage + enforcement + barriers to make right turn from 2nd difficult
Hi! I know trucks are not allowed down Herbert off the BQE, but oftentimes they come this way anyway. This results in the trucks arriving at Herbert and North Henry, and their only option is to turn left on North Henry toward Meeker. However, many times they can’t make the turn and either go the wrong way (east) down Herbert OR they attempt the left turn and smash into parked cars. I’ve seen this happen at least a dozen times! Hopefully we can remedy this somehow - maybe by making the signage on the BQE off-ramp more noticeable? Thank you for your time!
There should be more (or clearer) signs here telling trucks they shouldn’t go down Herbert street - we get many semi trucks trying to come down the street and trying to turn on North Henry but they usually can’t make the turn! Thank you!
Trucks are frequntly observed speeding through this corridor. In addition, illigal 53' trailers are also commonly observed in this area.
Turning trucks often have conflicts with pedestrians crossing in this intersection.
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.
