New Jersey

[Mr. Matté]

Guess I won't be clinching CR 528 on my Ocean County roadgeeking trip today:




Parkway is closed from exit 83 to 91 due to a brush fire in the area: https://www.nj.com/news/2021/03/large-lakewood-brush-fire-closes-portion-of-gsp.html

If you go to the traffic cam at MP 90, you can see some burned spots in the grass.

On an unrelated note, why has Canoe Brook Rd in Short Hills been renamed Fineran Way?

Renamed in honour of Scoutmaster Ken Fineran in March 2018.

I just clicked it at the right time and they were panning around, the whole median burned there and there's still smoke coming from it.

[Roadgeek Adam]

Smoke from it also appeared on radar, it was that strong.

Happy to report this beauty is still there:


Any idea how old it is? 1950s? 1960s?

[SignBridge]

Looks like Route 46 could use a rehab project.

Re: Fineran, I think only the part closer to 124 was renamed. The part where people live northeast of the mall wasn't touched.

[TheGrassGuy]

12 lanes really isn't all that much. Not sure how much that would really ease traffic congestion in a notoriously congested city like DC.

Morristown is NOT DC.

Yeah, I'm aware about that.

Still got the old Tube Lighting assembly attached.  Great classic still in use.

Caught it just as you replied! LOL  For some reason when I hit reply, the curser is going above the final message.  I need to scroll down to get to the bottom.  Otherwise, well, you see the result...

Do you mean a pony plate that carries a road is rare?  There are enough pony plates that carry railroads that they're not rare.

What's the origin of the term "pony plate"?

And while you chew on that, the sign on the right has a bare space that once advertised the E-Centre on the riverfront.  Guess NJDOT can't afford a BB&T Pavilion (the venue's current name) logo for that space.

It must have just fallen off, as the standard logo used is on the sign before it in a GSV taken Nov 2019... https://goo.gl/maps/R7UCpN3N25aTj5k67 , and was on the sign at the time of an Aug 2019 GSV... https://goo.gl/maps/YQcJxTfanbo8zNXv8

As you probably know, business logos and names are generally not allowed on highway signage (please don't cue the exceptions), but NJDOT does, fairly abundantly, sign directions and exits for 'Entertainment Center' though on other signage as well.

I'm curious if that E-Centre logo was something akin to the old school Meadowlands M logo that you used to see on the Turnpike and Parkway before the signage replacement project. That thing has been through a bunch of names in the past 20ish years since those signs were put up. I went to a bunch of shows there when it was called the Tweeter Center and I liked it because tickets were usually cheaper than PNC Bank Arts Center for the same shows.

Disney World is used on I-4 in Central Florida as well as its Magic Kingdom theme park at Exit 64.

Since when does Route 10 go to Denville?

If you are heading SB on US 202 you would have turned by now at US 46 or I-80 anyway if interested in that town.

Yeah but not the main part of the Township.

[artmalk]

NJ 10 barely passes through Denville.  Randolph would have been a better control city for that sign.

[famartin]

Its an odd choice. Maybe they intend it to be via 53, but otherwise, its probably the only location where Denville is used.

Quite right. I-287 uses Dover.  Some side roads use Ledgewood.  This is the only place that uses Denville, most likely cause Morris County maintains this intersection on US 202.  Notice that Livingston is used here over Whipppany going the other way as well.  The other roads intersecting Route 10 use Whipppany for it.
