NJ 18 is currently getting extended up to I-287.
Hasn't it ended at I-287 for the last couple years?

Nope, it currently ends at Centennial Avenue, which leads to I-287.

There is an errant sign in Somerville/Bridgewater that incorrectly has an NJ 202 and NJ 206 shield for US 202 and US 206, which I don't have a photo of, but I think it was erected due to the Chimney Rock Road interchange reconstruction project on US 22. Come to think of it, where is that sign now...

Unless something's changed, NJ 18 still ends at Buckingham Place last I looked, just after the curve from Davidson since they are upgrading Hoes Lane.

Erroneous NJ 206 shields are quite common.  I can think of several examples in Morris and Sussex Counties.  I know there are others, but their locations escape me.  I don't recall ever seeing a NJ 202 shield, but I doubt that the Bridgewater example is the only one.

"6 huge N.J. transportation projects that never got built"

Honestly, the article kinda sucks.

The first project listed is the one everyone knows and loathes....the missing I-95 link The Philly-Camden Aerial Tram.  Why this project is even listed is kinda a question mark.  Not really sure anyone would've called it a *huge* transportation project!

They also missed NJ 18's southern 6 miles, not to mention what could be dozens of other projects.

And I never realized NJ had a monorail commission!
It implies that the 95 PA turnpike interchange is the missing link.. Doesn't mention the Somerset expressway at all

The tram way being first is the current mass transit love fest. Not building mass transit facility is a sin whereas not building a road is a virtue

Dragging this back on topic, does New Jersey have a mileage cap on state highways like Indiana? I haven't seen a map that's recent enough of NJ to see new additions. It seems like nothing's been added.
I think he is saying why are roads like CR 549 in Ocean County not signed ad a state road. Although with that being said why confuse people with a number change

You and me both! I only shared what was relevant to the above discussion. There's many examples if errors in both states though.

Which is still behind schedule.... by at least a year now. The good news is at least part of Centennial Ave. is finally getting paved. Piscataway does a poor job of upkeep on that road and Hoes Ln. I'm surprised it was never taken over by the county.

PA did too.  I remember back in the 80's Bucks County had plenty of PA 202 shields along its path of US 202.  I also think, I cannot remember where, but I saw a erroneous PA 322 sign for US 202 someplace.  I want to say Hershey, but I cannot be sure.

I have not traveled PA roads on a regular basis after moving to Florida, so I do not know if they still exist.

Not as much anymore, at least not in the northern and western parts of the state. Haven't seen an erroneous sign in Pennsylvania in quite a while.

Every US highway has a keystone somewhere. I even found PA 1's during construction. 209's is right up near 6. 30's is toward the west.

Yep, that happens on occasion too.  The one closest to me was for 183 on a BGS in Mount Olive.  This was about 15 years ago and the error was quickly fixed.

There's a 222 keystone in Lancaster just south of 30, and a 22 at Mt. Union. There are some new 22 keystones on side roads at the reconstructed part near Fredericksburg, but Street View is too old to show them.

Some PA 13 shields in Norwood, Delaware County.  All the Route 13 trailblazer signs along W. Amosland Road are PA 13 shields.

These 3 separate assemblies with a mix of US & PA 13 shields replaced a composite assembly (erected in the early 1990s) that was damaged in an accident a few years ago.

There is also a PA 13 shield along U.S. 1 Business in Levittown.

Awhile ago, I located a PA 322 shield in Stage College, leaving the Penn State campus.

And . . . in a role reversal, PA 32 was upgraded to U.S. 32 in Morrisville at the last intersection before the Trenton Makes Bridge.

Since we're talking about US routes having state shields; MA has a few offenders as well (stand-alones as well as on LGS').  I've seen erroneous state shields in the Bay State for US 1, 3 (where it's actually US 3) 20 & 202.  ConnDOT recently posted some erroneous CT 6 shields where it multiplexes w/I-84.

To keep it on topic, a rogue contractor has designated part of Mass. Route 2 in Concord or Lincoln a New Jersey state route.  Someone surely has a photo of the sign online, but I could not find it in a quick search.
