Because they are morons and they enjoy running their engines breathing fumes then darting into traffic to experience the high risk fun of near collisions. Not sarcasm.

Because, in theory, it's a good idea. But no one enforces the parking situation on the ramp.

I've done Uber in the past. There's a virtual queue for airport pickups, and you have to be in the designated lot in order to remain in the queue. Waiting on shoulder = no rides.

This happens in Chicago and every other major city too. It’s not like it’s just a Philly thing.

Because making the left turn into a spot and then backing out if it is just TOO HARD

Can you take a screenshot of a map or something to show where it is? I'm not far from there. I just saw this vid on reddit where someone attached a laundry basket to a long rope slung over a branch like a pulley system.... I'm no engineer, but i have a rope and a laundry basket

This happens at JFK as well and that belt parkway is definitely more dangerous to park than 95.

People delivering Amazon packages out of their own cars who do this make me want to make my daily driver a bulldozer

They used to heavily regulate the on ramp parking pre-covid. I think the cops gave up on that and people got lazy again. The cell phone lot is super easy and way less stressful than ramp parking. I saw people walking across and down the ramp a few weeks ago. So unsafe.

I been going to the airport for over 35 years now, you don’t have to loop around from the cell phone lot.

The cell phone lot is super easy to use, people who park on the side of the road are morons.
