Good to notice that they do have a train station right in front of the stadium. It's a 2-minute walk. And if you're able to afford visiting the stadium, you are definitely able to afford the local train ticket there as well!
It seems quite sure that "proper transportation arrangements" can mean taking the local train just fine.
I don't see this cross-posted to it, so obligatory /c/fuckcars
To be fair, the road design is literal highways all the way around it making it impossible to safely walk. It’s terrible design and super hazardous to pedestrians but there is a safety reason behind the rule.
Its also Americans driving on those roads.
They should have been required to build pedestrian bridges and paths. If we didn’t line in a shithole capitalist hellhole.
The REASON it's illegal and dangerous to walk from these hotels is there's a damn whole canal between here and the stadium and the bridge is a limited-access highway. https://maps.app.goo.gl/5nK4bkNg9fHkWunn7
There isn't a pedestrian bridge over the canal, that's why you gotta get a ride.
When will the pedestrian bridge be ready?
Sounds like bad planning.
So, why is there no pedestrian bridge?
Holy Shit, making it from the nearest hotel across the canal turns a 1-mile walk into a 6-mile hike =U
That has to be deliberate, there's no other excuse for it.
American dream

That's the reason I can't simply walk to the nearby Denny's if I wanted to even tho it's like 3 blocks away; it's on the otherside of highway 99 and there are no pedestrian crossings for MILES over it.
My FIL randomly got me an e-bike that I can't use for that exact reason. There's no way for me to get anywhere from my house without having to cross an extremely busy highway. I could drive the bike to places, but that defeats the purpose.
Lol, US things 🤷
(Don't hate! It really is a deeply US thing. We're a very car Country as Germany but a thing like that would be totally alien to us.)
I came down with the flu and 102° fever while on a work trip this week. I ubered to an urgent care and the pharmacy was just across the street, but the street being a typical 5-lane American road with no sidewalk on either side, and no pedestrian crossing in sight in either direction.
I had to play frogger in the traffic standing in an empty lane until the next one cleared to get across.
Just truly mind-blowing bad design
fuck that
Why would anyone want to go somewhere where its illegal to walk outside?
No, its not illegal to walk outside. You're allowed to walk through public spaces.
Now I don't know that stadium but based on the sign and the fact that this is the US I'm gonna assume that the only roads that go to the stadium are 4 or 6 lane highways and it's outright dangerous to walk there
It's a joy
So developed, much freedom
It is in fact illegal to walk along or across an interstate highway, for safety's sake. In Germany, would you just casually stroll across the autobahn?
No, and that's precisely why sports venues are not built in middle of Autobahns.
Germans would not go to that sports venue because it would be illegal to walk outside.
Seems like they should have a shuttle service
I wish their was more infrastructure designed around walking, it makes me sad to see places that are so car oriented, it makes them ugly and unpleasant compared to city’s and country’s that prioritize walking and promotes a health lifestyle instead of driving and sitting in a car all day
I'm glad my cities stadium is built on top of a train station. And that they close lanes of the surrounding roads for pedestrians to walk on when there's a big match
Taking transit to the stadium is so much better than driving it. Avoid getting gouged on parking fees and don't have to deal with shitty traffic going to and leaving the stadium.
Those who make peaceful walking impossible make violent jaywalking enevitable
North Jersey is a wild sprawl of highways. It’s a shame it’s not more pedestrian friendly.
Standard American cities, aaahhh the beauty
I found the exact hotel on google maps and the distance to the stadium seems to be only 1km.
yea it’s like three highways over there - you’d think they’d build a bridge
