Morris County Roads

 

A new installation from the NPS at the exit from Jockey Hollow on Glen Alpin Road (CR 646). I'm surprised the NPS left the mention of NJ 24 on that sign, even though NJ 24 has been decommissioned west of Morristown since 1992.






Old street signs on Mount Tabor, a historic district of Parsippany-Troy Hills.


A white guide sign on Jefferson Road. I wonder why this hasn't been replaced with a green one. 


Two Bridges Road and its namesake bridges are located at the tripont of Essex, Morris, and Passaic Counties. Morris County has the landings for both of the bridges, so anything related to the bridges will be here. This is the Fairfield Bridge across the Passaic River between Fairfield in Essex County and Lincoln Park in Morris County.


This parking area, while in Passaic County, serves a Morris County bridge. The second of the two bridges that make up Two Bridges Road.






This historic truss span used to carry Two Bridges Road across the Pompton River between Lincoln Park in Morris County and Wayne in Passaic County. The road was moved to a newer, wider span. Thankfully the historic bridge was preserved for pedestrians as a fishing bridge.

That means there are three bridges at Two Bridges, but the name was kept for historical reasons.


A yellow speed limit sign on Malapardis Road in Morris Plains. And it's not even for a school zone.



This is located on Sylvan Way at its intersection with Dryden Way. Cramming 287 in a two-digit shield.


In Chatham Township along CR 647 (Southern Boulevard) northbound at its intersection with CR 638 (Fairmount Avenue). Notice how BOROUGH was added to the sign via a second panel to clarify which Chatham drivers intend to go to.


Signs and panels in downtown Denville are larger and more decorative.


An old street sign in Harding Township at CR 646.


An older parking rules sign in Chatham.



These street names are a little too similar to one another. Fairview Avenue at Fairmount Avenue, CR 638, in Chatham. At least this is a perpendicular intersection instead of a fork in the road, because imagine being on the wrong side of the fork and end up taking Fairview instead of Fairmount!
