3 unusual facts about County routes in New Jersey


County routes in New Jersey

US 202 runs through Bergen County, thus the planners skipped this number.

With very rare exceptions (such as County Route 537), the 500 series follows the rule of cardinal direction used for Interstate Highways and U.S. Routes: even-numbered roads run east and west, while odd-numbered roads run north and south.

East–west routes tend to be numbered with the lowest numbers in the northern part of the state and the highest numbers in the southern part of the state, also like the Interstate Highways and U.S. Routes.
