"But officer, it's only 9:30 in Daylight Savings! So what if it's December?" And as has been duly pointed out to me, the name "Constitution Park" is highly ironic for a place that limits as many freedoms as possible. This is on Fletcher Ave., which becomes US 9W to the north - click on that link at the bottom of the page to see the coolest sign on the street.


Pleasant Ave. in Rochelle Park, actually on the other side of the fence from Pleasant Ave. in Rochelle Park. It's on the other side of an abandoned railroad right-of-way to connect two streets that would otherwise be dead-ends.


The Gregory Avenue bridge crossing from Wallington into Passaic, no county route number attached. The official Bergen County map has CR 120 (numbered for NJ 120, which was once NJ 20, which was once NJSHR 3 along with all of CR 120) coming up Paterson Ave. and ending at Main Ave. I would think they have a stake in this bridge - or maybe since it's named after a street on the other side, it's Passaic County's problem.


Liberty Rd. EB, CR 49, just past Tryon Ave. in Englewood. If that doesn't look like a 49 to you, it's because Bergen County has a dual route system. Low numbers (21 and under) were assigned to a gridlike system over existing county routes (25 and over). NJDOT doesn't recognize the new system, but sometimes all that's posted in the field is a low-numbered shield. Or none at all, which is usually the case. Don't follow route numbers in this county.


Heading north on Forest Ave. (CR 59 despite the 13 shields) through Paramus to the turnoff for 4th Ave. to Westwood.


CR 64 WB at CR 37.


Just off I-80 EB Exit 62B if you continue straight onto Railroad Ave. (first photo) and CR 81, Crescent Ave., entering New York (second photo).


CR 77 NB at the shortest multiplex in the county (7 runs along 77 here) and looking east along CR 90. The town is spelled Ho-Ho-Kus with the hyphens.


A rare spur county route courtesy Doug Kerr, photographed crossing over the state line from Rockland County. CR S-94, Spring Valley Road, magically changes into CR 92 at Ridge Rd.

Heading north from Fremont Ave., CR 123., on Spring Valley.


Random Bergen County signage I nabbed.


Eastbound on Crescent Ave. (CR 87) past a different Crescent Ave. (CR 81), of course after 101 has left the first Crescent.


Broadway (CR 104) NB at Woodcliff Ave. in Woodcliff Lake, and then at its end at Park Ave. in Park Ridge. Interesting how the main street names mirror the towns. Also interesting what it takes to keep a traffic signal up.


The SB and EB beginnings of these two routes from CR 110 and CR 59, respcetively.

Last shield - Colonial Rd. SB bears right at Summit Ave.


Of course, saving the best for last. This hand-painted yellow beauty has seemingly been here since Zabriskie Street got its crazy name, and maybe then some. It's at the eastern end of the dead-end road, the eastern block of which is Bergen CR C-21 (C- is for City, I guess, but the only three C- routes are all in the same city of Hackensack). It seems to only be there for private property, for cars and trucks turning to the back-side parking lot of an old warehouse. For the moment, it is sturdily bolted in, but that's only because I have insufficient tools. (And if you, daring miscreant, get to the sign before I do, please be kind and give me first dibs.)
