Visitor & Driver Tips
Because the lot is accessed directly from US-46, eastbound motorists should prepare for their turn early and signal well in advance of the entrance driveway, as highway speeds can be brisk during off-peak hours. Drivers approaching from westbound US-46 will need to utilize local jug-handles or overpasses (such as Hollywood Avenue or Passaic Avenue) to execute a safe U-turn. Monthly reservations must be arranged prior to arrival via the Neighbor platform to ensure designated stall assignment and smooth gate or property clearance.
