Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching via the New Jersey Turnpike (Exit 12), follow signs for Carteret/Roosevelt Avenue West to ensure a straightforward right-turn ingress into the lot. Traffic along Roosevelt Avenue can become congested during peak morning and late-afternoon shift changes, so planning your arrival with a 10-to-15-minute buffer during rush hours is highly recommended. Make note of your stall number or nearest perimeter marker upon arrival, and ensure that all personal valuables are stowed out of sight before heading to your destination.
