Heck, where I live along 295, I can get to many areas along Route 42 faster via 295 (compared to taking the local roads) by taking 295 North to 76 West, making the U-turn at Market Street and taking 76 East to 42 South. This new ramp will cut out about 5 minutes of that drive alone, making the local drives much, much quicker for me!

What I do is I'll get off at Market and take 130 to Westville where it merges with 295. That too has its pains with the double traffic circle in Brooklawn (really NJ?) but it beats the demolition derby on 76.

One of the few sections of implied 55 MPH on a two-lane road in NJ is gone. This morning I drove the two-lane section of NJ 73 (from the Atlantic City Expressway to the Black Horse Pike) for the first time in a year or so, and sure enough, there are now a bunch of new "Speed Limit 50" signs starting around here: https://www.google.com/maps/@39.6473236,-74.8730232,3a,75y,174.85h,81.32t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1soLUEo4NSOks2x-wfeo0ztw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1Previously that area had no speed limit signs posted until Folsom, where it was, and still is, posted at 40 MPH.

In NJ, the speed limit for rural roads is 50 mph unless otherwise noted.

County maintained yes. Not sure who sets the speed limit.
On a separate note: 537 NJ municipalities will receive $161.25 million for local road projects from the Murphy Administration. Which project are you happy to see come to fruition in your town? https://patch.com/new-jersey/manasquan/537-nj-towns-get-lots-money-may-benefit-you-heres-what

Temporary Construction signs on NJ 29 at I-295 show the WEST direction heading into PA.https://goo.gl/maps/m3Q3jtR5t1pAlso found this showing what both interchanges on both sides of the Scudder Falls Bridge will look like upon completion.http://www.scudderfallsbridge.com/construction/#map
With the phone number to lodge a complaint clearly shown on the bumper!
Some new signs up around Exits 21-22 on 287NB with the interchange reconfiguration projects there advancing. Will need to try and nab some pictures of the new signs for 78 on both inner and outer roadways, but did get this one of a new sign for 22A and 22B:Thrilled that they fixed a thing that has bugged me since the previous signs went up in 1994 (did not have an Exit Only panel for the 22A sign), but annoyed that the contractor aligned the 22B exit tab incorrectly. Also, I know that NJDOT has finally moved away from the black background on state and US shields, but the signs still feel naked without them.

I will miss the black back-plates, though.
