I live in Parsippany and that road has always been one of my favorite weekend drives.

Found an old Milemarker in Springfield from when NJ 124 was NJ 24. It looks like NJDOT forgot about it and it’s still there to this day stating at Phillipsburg was once the zero mm for the route.
Even as late as the 1980s, these signs were still being used for mile posts until the word mile ( and now the route number)was added.

I wish NJDOT would post "Historic Route 24" signs along all of its old alignment west of Morristown.

Through Mendham and Chester it would fit in with the Colonial Downtowns both communities have.

Does NJ Route 94 have any speed zones with 50 mph maximums? I know north of Hamburg the speed limit is 45 mph to the NY State Line. How about from Columbia to Newton?
One thing I do admire is the fact NJ 94 in its entire run in NJ has very few traffic lights along its alignment. Though some were added over the years, such as in Lafayette, McAffee, and Veron as Route 23 in Hamburg was the northernmost signal in the state for the longest time. CR 517 north was added in 1977 or 78 due to that intersection having a limited sight distance which most likely created accidents. The one at CR 515 in Vernon was added in the eighties to replace a permanent beacon that created long queues on NJ 94 NB as traffic had to STOP for CR 515 traffic due the turn NJ 94 makes there.
For the most part NJ 94 is two lanes and frequent curves, if not all of it two lanes, so subject to lower speed limits.

From here to here and from here to here at least, from what I could find in 10 minutes of poking around on GSV.

Found this signal installation to be unusual. Usually when two left turn lanes are present, two left turn signal heads are always present. Yet here only one is only installed. Plus NJ is one of the few US states that always has two signal heads for left turn signals which this is indeed a mistake for NJ to have done.
Mr. Matté:
That intersection was posted on the New Jersey subreddit in the past, moreso because the closest pole you can date back to no later than the early 90s based on the Bush-Quayle sticker.
