Local Naming Guidance

  • New Jersey State uses the short format when naming State and County Highways/Routes and their spurs, loops, etc.

State Routes: SR-XXX (e.g. SR-70, SR-70 W)

County Routes: CR-XXX (e.g. CR-567, CR-567 Spur)

  • Concurrent routes which are signed/shielded with both names, AND commonly referred to using both names together, should use both names separated by a slash (/) as the primary name, and each individual named as an alternate name. (e.g. US-1 / US-9)
  • Highway name descriptors, such as TRUCK, EXPRESS, etc. should be added after the name in ALL CAPS. (e.g. US-1 TRUCK, or on a concurrent road US-1 TRUCK / US-9 TRUCK)
  • Highways passing through a local area which have a supplementary name for the road on street signs, use the name of the Local Road in the primary field and the numbered one in the alternate field.
