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

Poor air quality from all of the truck and fleet traffic to nearby industrial areas in the south bronx, and this effects nearby students and families who have little to no access to waterfront or parks to counteract the pollutants.
Heavy traffic congestion interrupts bike lands and worsens air quality, and making it unsafe for pedestrians to walk, bike, and engage in healthy lifestyle.
Local schools are exposed to the heavy traffic congestion causing poor air quality and quality of life and wellbeing for children. Additionally, there is not enough green space or tree canopy to mitigate extreme heat and air quality effects.
I am surprised no one else has commented about the noise and environmental impact of this intersection!! This on ramp to BQE is congested 24/7 and causes gridlock. Horrible for the air quality. Horrible noise/honking for what reason?! Traffic crawls anyway. A complete tragedy for the neighborhood.
Trucks SHOULD NOT BE HERE!!!! There’s a school and a park! They wake us up when they speed over the speed bumps at all hours. Do something!!!
The two small intersections here cause vehicle traffic to race through to make both lights. Pedestrians have to be extra careful for anyone running lights.
Trucks routinely speed down Church when heavy (polluting) traffic is not present
Idling trucks leading to noise pollution and air pollution.

The truck route on Caton Ave endangers the families and children that live here, with multiple schools and libraries nearby. The trucks often speed through lights at intersections on Caton and back up traffic, obstructing crosswalks for pedestrians to safely navigate.
