What is different for the traffic flow out? Looks the same
Green lot can only go out one way now and blue lot is forced to exit left, but once clear, police will give the go ahead to start pushing out to the right towards the circle.

But from green people always cut across the cones, to make a left. It will be interesting to see how they manage that.

It appears as if they’ve decided that walking a few thousand people across the blue lot exit, stopping traffic for 30 minutes at a time, was a bad idea. I think this addresses that. Not sure about the others
Ill take my share of credit for this change as ive called it out 50 times in surveys. Those dopes. I guess they won though as i got tired of that bs and moved my lot.

Here's some more updates for those that were asking.
  • Fans in the Yellow Lot will still be able to leave from both exits.
  • Buses coming from the RAC will continue to drop off in the same spot in Lot 53A
  • The courtesy shuttle will serve in the same capacity that the Knightingale Shuttle did.

You have no idea - after the game they block the Circle so nobody can get back over to Hoes Lane to River Rd.. Ive watched them basically shutdown River Rd. to let a few cars out of Scarlet now you can't even get back to River Rd. from Black or Purple. If your going North you basically have to go through New Brunswick.

It's Scarlet Lot gets out first & it's screw the rest...as always.
Now that cross traffic will be eliminated on River Road that should make the exit easier. I hope the green lot can go left onto River Road too, otherwise it’s a long haul up Hoes Lane and out to Rt. 18.

A pedestrian bridget from the South end zone to the buses at Johnson’s Park would alleviate traffic too.

That's crap if I cant make a left onto River Rd from Green Lot. We live in Somerset and come and go over Landing Lane. What they are showing will triple the trip and just cause bottle necks with merges from Scarlet and now Blue going to Rte 18 and the subsequent lots further down Rte 18.

So let’s announce changes where nothing has changed….
I park in yellow and you can exit from both sides already.
I never have issues with parking and getting out and love it.
I just think getting into the lot and the a-hole guy who commissions the parking in that lot need work

An idea that’s been suggested for years.

Also stopping thru traffic at Hoes Lane and the entrance to S/B Rte 18 entrance or Landing Lane.

Yellow lot is easy in and out compared to most lots.

Same here…I lost my mind some games and cursed the moron(s) that were responsible for what was clearly a huge problem.

1) Stop the nonstop DJ Noise
2) Turn the Volume Down
3) Let the marching band be heard!!! (see USC home games)
4) Fix the RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU chant!
5) Shut up Joe Nolan and let us do the third down For Whom the Bell Tolls Properly
6) Silence the train horn.
Too bad none of this will ever happen
