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

Many trucks go down this roadway despite a playground next to it with a toddler lot. Ground there is grimy with pollution.
Trucks pass this elementary school all the time despite damage to air quality and risks to pedestrian safety.
Too close to elementary school yard where small children play. Affects the quality of the air
Why are trucks parking there overnight? Why are those derelict trucks left idling overnight, polluting the neighborhood?
Ban those huge 18-wheeler trucks from the city, your polluting semi-trailer trucks take those huge turns in the intersection, block traffic on all directions, get stuck there, I can't walk the cross walk, I can't pass on the bike, the cars can't drive. It's hell. Why are these trucks even allowed on the city streets? You are letting these murder machines congest our roads and kill us with their fumes and running us over. Rebuild the intersection with ramps to take those trucks away from local traffic.
No trucks on Metropolitan Avenue! It’s used as a highway thoroughfare when there ate multiple schools and residential areas along Metropolitan between Berry Street and Bushwick Avenue.
There are way too many giant trucks on Metropolitan ave. It’s hard to cross the street. Many trucks run red lights.
Exhaust from 18 wheelers next to the elementary schoolyard
Too much pedestrian traffic in this area for all of these trucks. This is increasingly a family neighborhood so the amount of trucks are a major safety hazard
Dangerous and busy pedestrian intersection and creates terrible air quality on a dense residential street.
