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

Regular accidents here because excessively large trucks cannot make this turn
Trucks always running the light at Stratford and Caton. Excessive large truck traffic
The trucks are so big, so many, so loud, so dirty that it makes walking along this street unpleasant unbearable unhealthy. I cover my face and ears to do it. Unfortunately this is where the coffee shop is and the route to the subway. Please change this!
may trucks and buses constantly use Laight Street to get from Holland Tunnel to West St. despite signage telling them to take Exit 2 and follow Hudson & Canal to get to West St. Laight Street is too narrow for buses and trucks to pass thru. Signage is unclear and enforcement is absent.
Varick Ave is predominantly utilized as a truck route but the street is in very poor condition. There are large pot holes, uneven roadway, and no clear sidewalks for pedestrian use. There are several crosswalks that do not have zebra stripping or signage indicating pedestrian pathways.
Dangerous pedestrian and bicycle conflict with construction inaccessible sidewalks and trucks turning
Tons of trucks speeding through the light day and night
Trucks regularly coming down residential street to avoid metropolitan. speeding and a lot of noise pollution!
Trucks do not stop at the light and run the stop sign on Morgan. Very dangerous to pedestrians. Business do not respect the residential area of Beadel street.
This corner is particularly bad and dangerous. Repeatedly trucks coming off imlay and turning down pioneer to turn again on Van Brunt to leave town get stuck and can’t make turn , backing up traffic and making difficult to safely cross the street . This is an unacceptable truck route and should stop immediately with police enforcement.
