Visitor & Driver Tips

When routing with GPS, ensure your navigation system is set specifically to 134 Garfield Avenue between Bramhall Avenue and Carteret Avenue. During weekday morning and evening rush hours, traffic on nearby major arteries like Ocean Avenue and Grand Street can slow down, so budget an additional 5 to 10 minutes if connecting to the NJ Turnpike. If you plan to leave your vehicle parked while commuting into Manhattan, be sure to validate your fare card before boarding the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail at the Garfield Avenue station platform.
