New York City officials have unveiled the first major overhaul of its truck‑routing map in more than half a century, adding roughly 40 miles of new streets designated for commercial vehicles. The revision, the first since the 1970s, aims to ease congestion on major thoroughfares, improve delivery efficiency and reduce emissions by keeping trucks off residential neighborhoods. City planners say the changes will streamline freight movement to support a growing e‑commerce demand while maintaining safety standards. The rollout includes updated signage, revised permits and a public outreach program to help drivers navigate the expanded network.
