It's 100% real, and it's 100% legal. It's New Jersey.
No, it is not under The USA, like I already posted take as far as it needs to go.
Of course I should have thought of this first,
People in mass, that are working-attending a event in the stadium, should simply ignore the sign & law & do the walk. Then like I said before, get arrested if have to & mass filings for tons of trials, as far as it will go, to erase that part of the law. If in mass tons of people are doing this & are not arrested, then the law is unenforceable.
The problem isn't that you aren't allowed to. The problem is that they made literally zero accommodations for pedestrians to navigate the area.
A protest that walks the route that should exist anyway and shuts down the roads is a good idea. But it can still be illegal. People are arrested all the time for doing illegal shit while protesting. They don't use an "all or nothing" system from prosecution. They'll arrest and charge dozens of people in a protest with hundreds or thousands.
That is how you pedestrian pathways. You are not gong to get it, by not making the politicians uncomfortable.
You are not reading my reply.
I'm telling you this as a local: that's not going to work. It's not about making the government uncomfortable. The government are ambivalent.
It's twofold: East Rutherford, in majority, are NIMBYs when it comes to this issue. The residents don't want people walking to the stadium through their town. And just as important, the owners and operators of the Meadowlands make a huge amount of their money off the parking. It's private property, and they don't want people coming in without paying.
That thinking of giving away the people power, because people like you give-up is the problem. SORRY, I SHOULD NOT MADE IT A PERSONAL BEFORE.
It absolutely works, there is no way in BLANK politicians & media can ignore all of that happening, heck using The Internet, it is questionable if traditional media is even needed. If people just put-up with it, not will never ever change, except the people.
It will not work in this area, it is a huge busy road with constant traffic. You will get run over. If you bring a big crowd, you will cause a traffic jam as intended, but at the cost of a bunch of pedestrian lives. Is it worth dying for that? If you don't want to drive, there are buses and trains that go there.
Not just a busy road, but quite literally one of the busiest in the US
What did you mean by "under the USA"? You mean like federal law?
*Edit: typo
Yes
You seem to hold a lot of unjustified faith in federal law.
When the people make those in power uncomfortable, yes I do. Look at what has very recently happened with no real political resistance ‘The Crazy Don’s & his administration’s ‘Mob Enforcers’?
