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!

I hate having to basically weave all the way across 76 East to get to 295 South. 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.

Crossing 6 lanes in 3/4 of a mile.  What's not to love about it? LOL

Some work on CR 511 in Boonton Twp. has resulted in a pair of detours being posted - east via Taylortown Rd. and west via several roads. All of the shields are NJ 511, the first time I've seen a CR/SR error like this. I created a FB gallery (visibile without an account) to show off the shields and some bonus finds along the way.

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!1e1
Previously that area had no speed limit signs posted until Folsom, where it was, and still is, posted at 40 MPH.

Implied as in the last sign was 55 mph...or implied as there were no signs whatsoever? In NJ, the speed limit for rural roads is 50 mph unless otherwise noted.

A missing 50 mph speed limit sign on 130 South of the Commodore Barry Bridge creates a 55 mph section of 2 lane 130 for about a mile or so.

Isn't that portion of the road considered CR 561 spur, a county-owned roadway?

NJDOT has it logged in the SLDIAG's as Route 73, but its signed CR 561 spur and "TO 73".

County maintained yes. Not sure who sets the speed limit.

True. I remember seeing on the southern end of the "real/official/signed Route 73" just south of the AC Expressway entrance, near 2 billboards, there was an "End Speed Limit 55" sign. It's kind of interesting they allegedly posted new speed limit signs on this stretch.

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?

Temporary Construction signs on NJ 29 at I-295 show the WEST direction heading into PA.

Also found this showing what both interchanges on both sides of the Scudder Falls Bridge will look like upon completion.

Yup, and signs on the PA side show WEST toward Philly and SOUTH toward Princeton. It's so dumb.

You probably shouldn't give the finger to other motorists.

Especially when you're driving a state vehicle.

With the phone number to lodge a complaint clearly shown on the bumper!

I called one of those numbers once, just for shits 'n giggles. They picked up after a few rings, said nothing for a few seconds, then hung up on me.

Seemed fitting.

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've been gone long enough such that if I didn't know that was in NJ, I wouldn't notice. I will miss the black back-plates, though.

Yes NJ was the state for black border shields minus the Parkway and Turnpike.

For me, it's about what I'm so used to seeing. The black background US and state route shields are something that would look out of place (and in my opinion, ugly) in other states, but normal in New Jersey. I'll miss this NJDOT practice.

Yeah here in Florida it seems weird to see black border US route shields, but in NJ it was not that weird.  I guess you get used to things you do not realize it.

How are highways with concurrent routes, such as US 1/9 being signed with new mileposts? I've noticed on Google Maps only US 1 mileage. Same deal with US 130/NJ 33, US 322/40, etc.
