The New York City truck route network is a set of highways that commercial vehicles must use in the city. In this way, network is made up of two distinct classes of highways… local truck routes and direct truck routes. So, the network is defined in Section 4-13 of the New York City Rules of the Road.
All vehicles defined as trucks… (two axles and six tires, or three or more axles) must follow the Truck Route Network. Thus any commercial vehicles that do not meet the definition of a truck are not required to follow this network; but must follow all posted signs regarding the operation of commercial vehicles.
