Does anyone know the furthest north I can see a directional sign for the Atlantic City Expressway?

Rt. 42 North at the Expressway.

There is one further north on Route 206 in Southampton Township. I was curious if this was the furthest north it is seen.

Ah, I thought you meant "East" or "West".  The Expressway has posted "TO" signage all over the place recently.  Some of it in convenient spots around intersections.   Others spots were like, ok, why would someone at this location care?

Historically, there was one a little further north on CR 630 eastbound at 206 seen here in 2019 but per later GSV and me confirming that is still the case as of last weekend biking by this point, it's gone (with the defunct Burlington County College directional sign still there as well).

The specific campus to which travelers are being directed (probably at the time of the original installation, the only campus) is now this:

Is NJDOT ever going to replace the aging bridge over Hamburg Turnpike, the NYS& W railroad, and Pequannock River between West Milford and Kinnelon on Route 23 soon?


It seems that bridge is needing to be replaced. The state knows it. Had plans in 2017 to do, but abandoned the project despite the bridge being a future danger.

On I-295, NJDOT is removing the yellow "Old I-95 Exit XX" signage from overhead signs around Trenton.  This should include the signage on NJ 29 & I-195 at I-295 & US 206.

https://www.nj.gov/transportation/uploads/comm/news/details/comm_np_20240213_155430_I-295laneandshoulderclosursforsignremovalinMercerCounty.pdf

The signage was originally installed in 2018 when the I-95 ramps from I-95 to the PA Turnpike were opened, allowing for the seamless 95 thru PA and NJ.  Then-existing I-95 was redesignated as I-295 looping around Trenton.

Well PA will continue for the foreseeable future to have all of our "OLD EXIT XX" sign needs.

Was there ever a South of the Border sign in NJ?

I recall them being on I-95 around Philly.  I'm not sure if one was ever in NJ.

There is a Buc-ee's sign here in New Jersey.  It is along the northbound lanes of the Turnpike and advises travelers to make a U-turn and travel over five hundred miles.

Yes.

New York as a control city in Mercer County when approaching I-295 south in Lawrence - does this make sense?

This would assume the driver would be getting off at US-1 north OR get off on I-195 east towards the NJ turnpike. I'm surprised NY would be used. It lists New York and Camden at the approach for the I-295 S ramp.

Why not list Bordentown and Camden?

It was guide motorists from then I-95 NB to the NJ Turnpike via I-195. It used to inform motorists to get off onto US 1 NB to either NJ 18 or I-287 as New York was US 1 NB control city before New Brunswick was later added.

People read so much into this. It's a cheeky bit of advertising. If Bucees came to NJ, it would not be for many years, most likely. Reminds me of how there were Sonic Drive In ads that were shown in the NYC media market for nearly a decade before they began opening restaurants in the area.

Plus the hiring of many attendants to man 120 gas pumps is a huge endeavor.  As long as NJ will keep full service, there will be no chance Bucees will enter the Garden State.

I seem to remember one on I-95 closer to SotB than Philly, like around 95 and 395 in Baltimore.

Via Google Searches, there's numerous mentions of the billboard in Philly on 95 South, just south of the Walt Whitman Bridge where I recall seeing it as well, and at least one reference to a billboard on 95 around Wilmington, DE.  Unfortunately, I've yet to locate a picture of the sign online.

There has historically been one on 206 South at the corner of Hedding Rd in Columbus, I guess meant to direct people who got off the Turnpike at Exit 7. The actual ACX shield fell off but the round arrow marker remains: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.0801862,-74.718207,3a,75y,232.13h,89.24t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sgXkX1JnoNRfLqFwgLGWcYQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu .

In this case Hoboken reduced parking spaces in some parts of the city.

Well if you've ever driven through Hoboken, it's so congested that you can hardly get over 20mph on most streets.
