Before leaving Mercer County, the road intersects with an interchange at Route 133 that provides access to Exit 8 of the New Jersey Turnpike, Route 33 then crosses into Monroe Township, where it is slowly becoming a residential access road for new communities. It then continues into Millstone Township as a rural avenue, continuing into Manalapan Township, the avenue again becomes a residential access road. At the ramp for Route 33 Business, the avenue turns into a freeway bypass, Route 33 bypasses Freehold Borough to the south staying within Freehold Township. Within Freehold Borough, Route 33 Business is the alignment of Route 33 before the bypass was built. The bypass of Freehold is the alignment of what would have been a Route 33 freeway from Neptune to Trenton. As time went on, a version of just a bypass was agreed upon. The western start of the freeway is just east of County Route 527, and was built from Route 33 Business to U. S. Route 9 in the 1970s. The next section was built from U. S. Route 9 across Route 79 to Halls Mill Road, and this remained its terminus from the late 1980s until January 17,2003, when the final leg of the bypass was opened

County routes in New Jersey
–
In the U. S. state of New Jersey, county routes exist in all 21 counties. They are typically the fourth type of roadway classified below the Interstate Highway, the U. S. Route numbered highway, the County Route system is defined by two types in New Jersey. First,500 Series County Routes, also called state secondary routes, are county highways numbered in a system with three-digit numbers that begin with 5. These roads form a network of routes that supplement the facilitation of the State Routes. By definition,500 Series routes cross county borders and maintain continuity, each 500 Series route is unique and is not permitted to be duplicated in another county for a separate route. The second category is defined as Non-500 Series County Routes, Non-500 Series County Routes include 1-digit, 2-digit,600 Series,700 Series and 800 Series. These, by definition, are discontinuous across county borders and must be contained entirely within that county, unlike 500 Series County routes, these route numbers are unique to each county, and are typically assigned to more local routes than the statewide 500-series county route system. They are typically of a classification of streets like minor arterials or collector roadways rather than major arterials or thoroughfares. In the counties that use 600-series numbers, the selection of this range was coordinated within the state, gradually replacing older systems of mainly one- and two-digit routes. East–west routes tend to be numbered with the lowest numbers in the part of the state. In northern New Jersey, north–south routes range from CR501 in the east to CR521 in the west, County route numbers have not wholly replaced the preexisting names of the local roads to which they were assigned. Street signs at major intersections will denote both the road name and the county route number if it has one. Residents who live along county routes rarely, if ever, give their address as 123 County Route 5xx unless no name for the route has been established, as is the case in some rural areas. The precursor to the 500 series was a group of three roads in Bergen County which received the numbers 200,201, and 203 in the late 1930s,200 ran from Oakland to Alpine,201 ran from Ridgewood to Alpine, and 203 ran from Weehawken to Alpine. US202 runs through Bergen County, thus the planners skipped this number, in February 1942, a group of civil defense routes was assigned with numbers in the 500s in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. These roads were designed as through routes for civilian use in case the state system was needed by the military during World War II operations. These routes were numbered in relation to existing routes, for example, Civil Route 501 ran parallel to US1 and Civil Route 532 was an extension of NY32 into New Jersey. The current series of roads in the 500s was established by the New Jersey Department of Transportation in 1952, most counties in New Jersey follow the 500-series county routes with their own county routes numbered otherwise, typically in the 600-series

Also legislated in 1927 was a spur of Route 41, Route S41, later spurs of Route 41 included Route S41A, which was a southern extension of Route S41 from Berlin to Route 42 in Folsom proposed in 1938. Only the northernmost section of the bypass between County Route 561 and Route 70 had been built and this eventually became Route 154, the county-maintained section of Route 41 also became known as County Route 573. Since 1953, many changes have occurred along Route 41, the Ellisburg Circle at the intersection of Routes 41,70, and 154 was reconstructed into an intersection with jughandles and traffic lights by the 1990s. This reconstruction involved realigning Route 41 to form a concurrency with Route 154 just south of Route 70

U.S. state
–
A U. S. state is a constituent political entity of the United States of America. There are 50 states, which are together in a union with each other. Each state holds administrative jurisdiction over a geographic territory. Due to the shared sovereignty between each state and the government, Americans are citizens of both the federal republic and of the state in which they reside. State citizenship and residency are flexible, and no government approval is required to move between states, except for persons covered by certain types of court orders. States range in population from just under 600,000 to over 39 million, four states use the term commonwealth rather than state in their full official names. States are divided into counties or county-equivalents, which may be assigned some local authority but are not sovereign. County or county-equivalent structure varies widely by state, State governments are allocated power by the people through their individual constitutions. All are grounded in principles, and each provides for a government. States possess a number of powers and rights under the United States Constitution, Constitution has been amended, and the interpretation and application of its provisions have changed. The general tendency has been toward centralization and incorporation, with the government playing a much larger role than it once did. There is a debate over states rights, which concerns the extent and nature of the states powers and sovereignty in relation to the federal government. States and their residents are represented in the federal Congress, a legislature consisting of the Senate. Each state is represented in the Senate by two senators, and is guaranteed at least one Representative in the House, members of the House are elected from single-member districts. Representatives are distributed among the states in proportion to the most recent constitutionally mandated decennial census, the Constitution grants to Congress the authority to admit new states into the Union. Since the establishment of the United States in 1776, the number of states has expanded from the original 13 to 50, alaska and Hawaii are the most recent states admitted, both in 1959. The Constitution is silent on the question of states have the power to secede from the Union. Shortly after the Civil War, the U. S. Supreme Court, in Texas v. White, as a result, while the governments of the various states share many similar features, they often vary greatly with regard to form and substance

New Jersey
–
New Jersey is a state in the Northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. It is bordered on the north and east by New York, on the southeast and south by the Atlantic Ocean, on the west by Pennsylvania, New Jersey is the fourth-smallest state but the 11th-most populous and the most densely populated of the 50 United States. New Jersey lies entirely within the statistical areas of New York City. New Jersey was inhabited by Native Americans for more than 2,800 years, in the early 17th century, the Dutch and the Swedes made the first European settlements. New Jersey was the site of decisive battles during the American Revolutionary War in the 18th century. In the 19th century, factories in cities such as Camden, Paterson, Newark, Trenton, around 180 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period, New Jersey bordered North Africa. The pressure of the collision between North America and Africa gave rise to the Appalachian Mountains, around 18,000 years ago, the Ice Age resulted in glaciers that reached New Jersey. As the glaciers retreated, they left behind Lake Passaic, as well as rivers, swamps. New Jersey was originally settled by Native Americans, with the Lenni-Lenape being dominant at the time of contact, scheyichbi is the Lenape name for the land that is now New Jersey. The Lenape society was divided into clans that were based upon common female ancestors. These clans were organized into three distinct phratries identified by their animal sign, Turtle, Turkey, and Wolf and they first encountered the Dutch in the early 17th century, and their primary relationship with the Europeans was through fur trade. The Dutch became the first Europeans to lay claim to lands in New Jersey, the Dutch colony of New Netherland consisted of parts of modern Middle Atlantic states. Although the European principle of ownership was not recognized by the Lenape. The first to do so was Michiel Pauw who established a patronship called Pavonia in 1630 along the North River which eventually became the Bergen, peter Minuits purchase of lands along the Delaware River established the colony of New Sweden. During the English Civil War, the Channel Island of Jersey remained loyal to the British Crown and it was from the Royal Square in St. Helier that Charles II of England was proclaimed King in 1649, following the execution of his father, Charles I. The North American lands were divided by Charles II, who gave his brother, the Duke of York, the region between New England and Maryland as a proprietary colony. James then granted the land between the Hudson River and the Delaware River to two friends who had remained loyal through the English Civil War, Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkeley of Stratton, the area was named the Province of New Jersey. Since the states inception, New Jersey has been characterized by ethnic, New England Congregationalists settled alongside Scots Presbyterians and Dutch Reformed migrants

New Jersey Department of Transportation
–
It is headed by the Commissioner of Transportation. The present Commissioner is Richard T. Hammer, who was appointed in October 2015, the agency that became NJDOT began as the New Jersey State Highway Department circa 1920. NJDOT was established in 1966 as the first State transportation agency in the United States, the Transportation Act of 1966 established the NJDOT on December 12,1966. In 1979, with the establishment of New Jersey Transit, NJDOTs rail division was folded into the new agency, until 2003, the NJDOT included the Division of Motor Vehicles, which was reorganized as the self-operating New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. Since the late 1970s, NJDOT has been phasing out or modifying many traffic circles in New Jersey, david J. Goldberg, 1966-1970 John C. Most major highways including Interstate, U. S. NJDOT develops interim and long-term plans and strategic policy on freight and shipping in and these intermodal policies cover trucking, rail, maritime and air freight. The Transportation Capital Program and the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program allocate state and federal funding, including projected projects. Assistance to local communities and grants for transportation-related projects, such as transit villages and this is refer to technical planning, development, design and research for projects. During 1976 NJDOT took control of rail routes operated by the Penn Central, Erie Lackawanna, CNJ. In 1979 New Jersey Transit assumed responsibilities for passenger rail in New Jersey, NJDOT is a member of the Northeast Corridor Commission.

County Route 549 (New Jersey)
–
County Route 549, abbreviated CR549, is a county highway in the U. S. state of New Jersey. The highway extends 17.82 miles from Main Street at County Route 527 in Toms River Township to County Route 547 at Monmouth CR21 in Howell Township, the highway has the distinction of being the only 500-series route left with two separate spur routes. There are a few mileposts left along the section of the highway that have a NJDT label on the bottom right corner. Also, the only at grade cloverleaf in New Jersey exists on CR549, no other county bridges have their dates stamped into them. County Route 549 mostly travels through Ocean County, the highway makes frequent turns onto separate roads. The route in its northern segment is a two-lane, rural road, County Route 549 handles more traffic then any other county route in all of Ocean County, it is a major link between the townships of Toms River and Brick. As the route is plagued by chronic congestion, the county has invested millions of dollars into upgrading this corridor, the most recent improvement was from Cedar Bridge Avenue to Beaverson Boulevard. It included widening, signal modification, and the extension of Beaverson Boulevard to meet Old Hooper Avenue, ongoing improvements are being made between Beaverson Boulevard and Church Road, where widening and reconstruction should help alleviate some congestion in that area. However, without the completion of the Fischer Boulevard Extension, it is doubtful that CR549 will see much relief anytime soon. CR549 begins at an intersection with Route 166 and the terminus of CR527 in Toms River, Ocean County. The road runs through the downtown of Toms River a short distance to the north of the Toms River. The route turns north onto Hooper Avenue, which passes through more of the area before heading into residential areas. Upon crossing Route 37, CR549 becomes a divided highway with jughandles that passes through commercial areas. The road intersects CR571 at a cloverleaf interchange and passes to the west of the Ocean County Mall. The road narrows back to four lanes at the CR94 intersection as it passes more shopping centers, CR549 enters wooded areas as it passes an entrance to Ocean County College and comes to an intersection with the northern terminus of the southern CR549 Spur. Past this intersection, the route makes a turn to the north again and enters commercial areas. Here, CR549 becomes Brick Boulevard and intersects CR631 before continuing past more development with three lanes and two southbound lanes. After the CR66 junction, the road carries two lanes in each direction as it reaches intersections with CR624 and CR528, turning more to the northeast

Dual carriageway
–
A dual carriageway is a class of highway with carriageways for traffic travelling in opposite directions separated by a central reservation. Roads with two or more carriageways which are designed to higher standards with controlled access are generally classed as motorways, freeways, a road without a central reservation is a single carriageway regardless of the number of lanes. Dual carriageways have improved road traffic safety over single carriageways and typically have speed limits as a result. In some places, express lanes and local/collector lanes are used within a system to provide more capacity. A very early example of a dual carriageway was the Via Portuensis, in 1907 the Long Island Motor Parkway opened, and roughly 20% of it featured a semi-dual-carriageway design. The New York City Belt Parkway system, which was built between 1907 and 1934, also pioneered the same design, however the majority of it featured concrete or brick railings as lane dividers instead of grass medians. In 1924 the first Italian autostrada was opened running 55 km from Milan to Varese and it featured a broad road bed and did not feature lane dividers except near cities and through the mountains. The London end of the Great West Road became Britains first dual carriageway when it was opened in 1925 by King George V, in 1927 the Rome bypass was opened. It ran 92 km bypassing Rome to the east, almost the entire length featured a dual-carriageway design. In the early 1930s it was extended all the way to Naples. Most of the routing was destroyed by the Allies in the World War II. By 1930 several US and European cities had built dual-carriageway highways, in 1932 the first German autobahn opened between Cologne and Bonn. It ran 21 km and became a precedent for future highways, although it, like the first autostrada, did not feature a dual-carriageway design, it inspired the mass construction of future high-speed roadways. During the 1930s, Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union began construction of a network of dual carriageway expressways. By 1942, Germany had over 3,200 km of dual carriageway roads, Italy had nearly 1,300 km, opened to traffic in 1940, the 160-mile-long Pennsylvania Turnpike was the first rural dual carriageway built in the United States. By 1955 several states had built dual carriageway freeways and turnpikes, completed in 1994, the major highway system links all the major cities of the United States. In the UK, although the dual carriageway applies to any road with physically separated lanes. Such major dual carriageways usually have two lanes of traffic in each direction, with the lane nearest the centre being reserved for overtaking, occasionally dual carriageways have only one lane in each direction, or more than two lanes each way

Concurrency (road)
–
A concurrency in a road network is an instance of one physical road bearing two or more different highway, motorway, or other route numbers. When two freeways share the same right-of-way, it is called a common section or commons. Other terminology for a concurrency includes overlap, coincidence, duplex, triplex, multiplex, concurrent numbering can become very common in countries that allow it. In some countries, however, concurrent numbering is avoided by posting only one number on road signs. Criticism of concurrencies include environmental intrusion, as well as being considered a factor in road accidents, most concurrencies are simply a combination of two route numbers on the same physical road. This is often advantageous as well as economically advantageous, it may be better for two route numbers to be combined into one along riverways or through mountain valleys. Some nations allow for concurrencies to occur, however, some nations specifically do not allow it to happen, in those nations which do permit concurrencies, it can become very common. In these countries, there are a variety of concurrences which can occur, an example of this is the concurrency of I-70 and I-76 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in western Pennsylvania. A triple Interstate concurrency is found north of Madison, Wisconsin, with I-39, I-90, Wisconsin has another triple Interstate concurrency along the five-mile section of I-41, I-43, and I-894 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The concurrency of I-41 and I-43 on this roadway is an example of a wrong-way concurrency, the longest Interstate highway concurrency is I-80 and I-90 for 265 miles across Indiana and Ohio. There are examples of eight-way concurrencies, I-465 around Indianapolis and Georgia State Route 10 Loop around downtown Athens, Georgia. Portions of the 53-mile I-465 overlap with I-74, US31, US36, US40, US52, US421, SR37, seven of the eight other designations overlap between exits 46 and 47 to create an eight-way concurrency. In the United States, concurrencies are simply marked by placing signs for both routes on the same or adjacent posts, the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices prescribes that when mounting these adjacent signs together that the numbers will be arranged vertically or horizontally in order of precedence. The order to be used is Interstate Highways, U. S. Highways, state highways, and finally county roads, several states do not officially have any concurrencies, instead officially ending routes on each side of one. There are several circumstances where unusual concurrencies exist along state borders, one example occurs along the Oklahoma–Arkansas state line. At the northern end of this border Oklahoma State Highway 20 runs concurrently with Arkansas Highway 43, concurrencies are also found in Canada. In Manitoba, the Trans-Canada Highway from Winnipeg to Portage la Prairie is concurrently signed with Yellowhead Highway, in Ontario, the Queen Elizabeth Way and Highway 403 run concurrently between Burlington and Oakville, forming the provinces only concurrency between two 400-series highways. In the United Kingdom, routes do not run concurrently with others, where this would normally occur, the roadway takes the number of only one of the routes, while the other routes are considered to have a gap and are signed in brackets

Reversible lane
–
A reversible lane is a lane in which traffic may travel in either direction, depending on certain conditions. Typically, it is meant to improve traffic flow during rush hours, by having traffic lights. Reversible lanes are commonly found in tunnels and on bridges. The presence of lane controls allows authorities to close or reverse lanes when unusual circumstances require use of fewer or more lanes to maintain flow of traffic. Some more recent implementations of reversible lanes use a movable barrier to establish a separation between allowed and disallowed lanes of travel. Other systems use retractable cones or bollards which are built into the road, the two center lanes of the six-lane Golden Gate Bridge are reversible, they are southbound during morning rush hour and northbound at evening rush hour. Prior to the installation of a median barrier in January 2015. Many urban freeways have entirely separate carriageways to hold reversible lanes, generally, traffic flows in one direction or another in such a configuration, the carriageways are not split into two-lane roadways during non-rush periods. Typically, this sort of express lane will have fewer interchanges than the primary lanes, and many such roadways only provide onramps for inbound traffic, historically, the term suicide lane has also referred to a lane in the center of a highway meant for passing in both directions. Neither direction has the right-of-way, and both directions are permitted to use the lane for passing. In a similar layout, three lanes are striped with two in one direction and one in the other, but traffic in the direction with one lane is allowed to cross the centerline to pass, 2+1 roads have replaced some of these in Europe and North America. While this is also called a suicide lane, it is actually far safer. These roads are common in suburban areas and less common in rural areas. Many were divided highways before the median was demolished or otherwise filled with the turn lane, many four-lane streets with a center double yellow line are being phased out in favor of five-lane streets with center turn lanes, because the center lane allows for less disruption of traffic flow. For routes with moderate traffic, other movements involve downgrading four-lane undivided streets to three-lane streets with a center lane. This center lane can be used by vehicles like police cars, ambulance. U. S. Route 13 near the Greenville, NC city limits is an instance of a posted warning sign that states do not pass in center lane. Chain Bridge in Washington, D. C.

Barnegat Bay
–
Barnegat Bay is a small brackish arm of the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 42 miles long, along the coast of Ocean County, New Jersey in the United States. It is separated from the Atlantic by the long Barnegat Peninsula, as well as by the end of Long Beach Island. The bay is fed by small rivers, including the Toms River and Metedeconk River. The communities of Toms River, Silverton, and Forked River sit along the estuaries on the bay. The bay connects with the ocean through the Barnegat Inlet, along which sits the Barnegat Lighthouse. The bay is part of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, entered on its end by the Point Pleasant Canal. In a broader sense, Barnegat Bay is sometimes considered to stretch to the end of Long Beach Island. The Barnegat Division of Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge comprises wetlands along the southern part of the bay. Along the outside of the bay, on the peninsula, is the Island Beach State Park, various islands within the bay are a part of the National Wildlife Refuge or the Sedge Islands State Wildlife Management Area. The northern tip of Long Beach Island includes the Barnegat Lighthouse State Park, the area surrounding Barnegat Bay and Barnegat Inlet was described by Henry Hudson, in 1609, as. A great lake of water, as we could judge it to be, the mouth of the lake hath many shoals, and the sea breaketh on them as it is cast out of the mouth of it. The bay was named in 1614 Barendegat, or Inlet of the Breakers, by Dutch settlers. During the American Revolutionary War, the bay was used as refuge by American privateers, the bay has been a longtime center for commercial fishing. The village of Toms River was a significant whaling port in the 19th century, while still popular for fishing, Barnegat Bay has also become a popular destination for recreational boating. The water quality of the bay has been degraded by pollution in the rivers, the preservation of the bays water quality has been an ongoing effort of several public and private organizations. The bay was immortalized by the famous writer E. B, White, who used it as a setting for his short story The Family That Dwelt Apart. The story appears in his collection Preposterous Parables and it was adapted into the animated short The Family That Dwelt Apart, narrated by White, by the National Film Board of Canada. The song My Eyes Adored You by New Jersey native Frankie Valli contains a reference to walking home everyday over Barnegat Bridge, on March 22,1975, the song became one of the Hot 100 number-one hits of 1975

Ocean County Mall
–
The Ocean County Mall is a super-regional mall, opened in 1976 by Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation, located in Toms River, New Jersey on Hooper Avenue. The mall is accessible from Exit 82 of the Garden State Parkway via Route 37 East, the mall is managed by Simon Property Group. The mall has a leasable area of 890,000 sq ft. The mall is anchored by Boscovs, JCPenney, Macys and Sears and it also contains several eateries, and a small food court. The Ocean County Mall is the enclosed mall in Ocean County. It is a destination for tourists in the Toms River area during the summer season. In the 1970s, the Toms River area, although growing quickly, was relatively rural. The closest malls were the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, and the Shore Mall in Egg Harbor, with the growing need for an enclosed mall, the mall was originally planned to be at the intersection of Route 37 and the Garden State Parkway. However, the mall opened in 1976 at its current location at Hooper Avenue and Bay Avenue, with 3 anchors, in 1988, a small expansion was built which included a Sterns. When the chain went out of business, it was turned into Boscovs, around the same time, the General Cinema quietly closed down due to competition from the AMC-Loews across the street at Seacourt Pavilion. The Cinemas main mall entrance near Applebees was sealed off for years, while the small side hallway near Sears remained locked, in 2009, Benihana opened in the vacant space. Benihana closed abruptly in February,2012, and was replaced by Ichiban, in 2003, the mall received a complete renovation, which added new signage, flooring, lighting, seating areas, and lighting in the parking lot. The renovation was sponsored by the Deborah Heart and Lung Center. To accommodate, there is a stretch of discolored tile around the perimeter of the mall with numbers engraved marking walking distance, also, Starbucks and Auntie Annes open at 8,30 am to cater to the mall walkers who arrive before the rest of the mall opens

Cloverleaf interchange
–
A cloverleaf interchange is a two-level interchange in which left turns are handled by ramp roads. To go left, vehicles first continue as one passes over or under the other, then exit right onto a one-way three-fourths loop ramp. The objective of a cloverleaf is to two highways to cross without the need for any traffic to be stopped by red lights, even for left. The limiting factor in the capacity of an interchange is traffic weaving. Cloverleaf interchanges, viewed from overhead or on maps, resemble the leaves of a four-leaf clover, in the United States, cloverleaf interchanges existed long before the interstate system. They were originally created for busier interchanges that the diamond interchange system could not handle. Their chief advantage was that they were free-flowing and did not require the use of devices as traffic signals. This not only made them an option for interchanges between freeways, but they could also be used for very busy arterials where signals could present congestion problems. They are common in the United States and have used for over 40 years as the Interstate Highway System expanded rapidly. One problem is that, frequently, large trucks exceeding the speed limit roll over. Another problem is the merging of traffic, for these reasons, cloverleaf interchanges have become a common point of traffic congestion at busy junctions. At-grade cloverleaf configurations with four leaves and full outside slip ramps are extremely rare, though one exists in Toms River. Any other intersection with one, two, or three leaf ramps with outer ramps would not be designated a cloverleaf and simply be referred to as a jughandle or parclo intersection. The first cloverleaf interchange patented in the US was by Arthur Hale, several cloverleaf interchanges were built in the late 1920s, however, it is unclear which was first. The first cloverleaf interchange built in the United States was the Woodbridge Cloverleaf at intersection of the Lincoln Highway and Amboy—now St. Georges—Avenue in Woodbridge Township and it opened in 1929, and has been replaced with a partial cloverleaf interchange. The original cloverleaf interchange was designed by the Rudolph and Delano building firm from Philadelphia, and was modeled after a plan from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The first cloverleaf west of the Mississippi River opened on August 20,1931, at Watson Road and Lindbergh Boulevard near St. Louis, Missouri and this interchange, however, has since been replaced with a diamond interchange. The cloverleaf was patented in Europe in Switzerland on October 15,1928, the first cloverleaf in Europe opened in October 1935 at Slussen in central Stockholm, Sweden, followed in 1936 by Schkeuditzer Kreuz near Leipzig, Germany

Garden State Parkway
–
The Garden State Parkway is a 172. 4-mile limited-access toll parkway that stretches the length of New Jersey from the New York line at Montvale to Cape May at the states southernmost tip. Its name refers to New Jerseys nickname, the Garden State, most New Jerseyans refer to it as simply the Parkway. The parkways official, but unsigned, designation is Route 444, at its north end, the parkway becomes the Garden State Parkway Connector, a component of the New York State Thruway system that connects to the Thruway mainline in Ramapo. The Parkway is primarily for vehicle use, with trucks weighing over 10,000 pounds prohibited north of Exit 105. The Parkway has been ranked as the busiest toll highway in the based on the number of toll transactions. At roughly 172 miles, the Parkway is the longest highway in the state, the Garden State Parkway begins in Lower Township at an interchange with Route 109. For the first 3 1⁄2 miles, the crosses over streams. At 3.48 miles, the crosses over Taylor Creek. Exit 4 is for Route 47 north to Rio Grande and Wildwoods. At 6.54 miles, parkway exit 6, for Route 147 and North Wildwood, leaves to the right of the lanes, there is no northbound exit, only an entrance. Previously, there were three at-grade interchanges for exits 9,10, and 11, construction on overpasses began in 2013 and was completed in 2016. The first is at exit 9 to Shellbay Avenue, the second is exit 10 to County Route 657, also known as Stone Harbor Boulevard. The Cape Regional Medical Center, the only hospital, is at this exit. Exit 11 is for U. S. Route 9 at the Cape May County Park & Zoo, an unsigned southbound exit and entrance at East Mechanics Street was removed in August 2011, between exits 9 and 10. The at-grade interchanges were reconstructed to put the parkway on overpasses above those roads, because this work is finished, there are no longer any traffic lights or other intersections on the entire length of the parkway. Exit 13 is for Avalon Boulevard, at 14.85 miles, the parkway enters Dennis Township after crossing Uncle Aarons Creek. At 17.5 miles, exit 17 leaves to the right for CR625, at milepost 19.38, the parkway enters its first toll, the Cape May Toll Plaza. A little more than 20 miles in, exit 20 leaves for Route 50, in Upper Township, exit 25 leaves for CR623

County Route 527 (New Jersey)
–
County Route 527, abbreviated CR527, is a county highway in the U. S. state of New Jersey. The highway extends 84.86 mi from Main Street in Toms River Township to Pompton Avenue in Cedar Grove and it is the second longest 500-series county route in New Jersey after Route 519. It was first given the number 527 in 1954, CR527 passes through Ocean, Monmouth, Middlesex, Somerset, Union, and Essex counties on the eastern side of the state. It has two concurrencies with Route 18 in Middlesex County in addition to minor state highways and county roads. Interchanges with the Garden State Parkway and Interstates 195,95,287,78, CR527 begins at a traffic light with New Jersey Route 166 in Toms River. Passing some local roads at the beginning, CR527 crosses an interchange with the Garden State Parkway at.53 of a mile, more than a mile later, New Jersey Route 37 crosses 527 at a traffic light. Continuing through Toms River Township, CR571 merges into 527 for about 3/4 of a mile, at 7.57 miles, State Route 70 crosses CR527. Just past ten miles, CR547 crosses in Jackson Township, further in Jackson Township, CR527 joins CR528 for a 3. 78-mile-long concurrency. At the end of the concurrency, CR527 continues straight while CR528 leaves to the left, at 18.05 miles, CR526 and CR527 intersect. Less than a later, Interstate 195 interchanges with CR527. At 19.61 miles, CR527 leaves Ocean County, on the Freehold / Millstone / Manalapan township border, County Routes 524 and 537 cross. Past 24 miles at Carrs Corner, CR527 turns to the right heading northeast while a route to 527. At 26.61 miles, New Jersey Route 33 crosses at a light in Manalapan. CR527 heads north enters Englishtown, in Englishtown, CR527 reaches the northern terminus of CR 527A at South Main Street and later forms a 0. 07-mile-long concurrency with CR522. At 30.58 miles, CR527 re-enters Manalapan for a short distance, at 31.50 miles, CR527 enters Monroe Township which is in Middlesex County. 527 spends a short time in Monroe as it enters the township of Old Bridge. At 34.29 miles, CR520 crosses at a traffic light, after passing local roads in Old Bridge, CR527 merges with Route 18 for about one mile, entering the town of East Brunswick. At 36.68 miles, CR527 leaves to the right, just before 41 miles, CR535 crosses 527 at a traffic light

Pine Barrens (New Jersey)
–
The Pine Barrens, also known as the Pinelands or simply the Pines, is a heavily forested area of coastal plain stretching across more than seven counties of southern New Jersey. The name pine barrens refers to the sandy, acidic. Although European settlers could not cultivate their familiar crops there, the ecology of the Pine Barrens supports a diverse spectrum of plant life, including orchids. The area is notable for its populations of rare pygmy Pitch Pines. The sand that composes much of the soil is referred to by the locals as sugar sand. The Pine Barrens territory helps recharge the 17 trillion gallon Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer containing some of the purest water in the United States. As a result of all factors, in 1978 Congress passed legislation to designate 1.1 million acres of the Pine Barrens as the Pinelands National Reserve to preserve its ecology. A decade later, it was designated by the United Nations as an International Biosphere Reserve, development in the Pinelands National Reserve is strictly controlled by an independent state/federal agency, the New Jersey Pinelands Commission. The Pinelands Reserve contains the Wharton, Brendan T. Byrne, Penn, the reserve also includes two National Wild and Scenic Rivers, the Maurice and the Great Egg Harbor. John McPhees 1967 book The Pine Barrens focuses on the history, during the colonial era, the Pine Barrens was the location of various industries. Bog iron was mined from bogs, streams, and waterways, and was worked in furnaces at Batsto, Lake Atsion, Ferrago, Hanover, and several other locations. Iron from these furnaces was instrumental in supplying the American military with weapons and camp tools during the American Revolution, the War of 1812. For example, Commodore Stephen Decatur, Jr. sailed to Algiers armed with 24-pound cannons that had been cast at Hanover in 1814, the bog iron industry declined in the mid-19th century after the discovery that iron ore could be mined more cheaply in Pennsylvania. Other industries such as mills, sawmills, and gristmills rose and fell throughout the years. Smaller industries such as charcoal-making and glassmaking also were developed, meeting with varying degrees of success, over time, however, the forest reclaimed almost all traces of the Pine Barrens industrial past. Ghost towns—remnants of villages built around these former industries—can still be found at various locations, Batsto Village has been restored to its mid-19th century state as a state historic site. The Pine Barrens were home to rural, backwoods families. For years, residents of the area were called Pineys by outsiders

A 6-mile long six-lane highway, it not only connects the Pennsylvania Turnpike with the mainline and it was formerly designated as Route 700P, but is currently designated I-95 in anticipation of the completion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike/Interstate 95 Interchange Project in 2018. A 4-mile stretch of I-95 north of U. S.46 came under Turnpike Authority jurisdiction in 1992 and this section of the road travels past the interchange for I-80 and through a cut in the Hudson Palisades at GWB Plaza
