https://www.google.com/maps/@40.2243986,-75.3069926,3a,75y,1... I got one of these tickets here. The bus was obscured until it was already stopped, by a truck to my left. I was in the furthest possible lane. Very cool ~$380. (For further context, because like in principle I agree.) Oh and for fun, if you follow that sidewalk down a bit, you get to see this: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.2281192,-75.3123541,3a,75y,7... The sidewalk... just... ends because I guess crossing a bridge wasn't in scope?? and I'd pretty regularly see people and kids walking across it to get to the strip mall on the other side. |

As for why the sidewalk abruptly ends, normally it's due to a border between municipalities: some of the municipalities in the area don't have sidewalks at all, and confusingly several of them have Lansdale postal addresses despite not actually being part of Lansdale proper (which does have sidewalks).
But in this specific case I think it's Upper Gwynedd Township on both sides of the bridge, so who knows.
I haven't lived there in decades, but sorry about your ticket in any case!
One other ironic wrinkle: iirc students have to walk to school if there's a route under 1 mile long with continuous sidewalk coverage. And that spot where you got ticketed is right about a mile from the high school. So if that bridge actually had sidewalks, maybe there would be no need for a bus stop in that location where you got the ticket.
