I don't really know what to do with these, so I'll put them up front. Trader Joe's (see if you can guess where) had a local artist exhibition, and just look at the theme! Never mind that I-78 barely misses Morris County and the Garden State Parkway doesn't come close. The thought definitely counts. Show me all of your artists who draw road signs in publicly used places. That's what I thought.

---

The northern end of CR 615 (Espanong Rd. NB at Edison Rd.) and a couple other shields. The last one is on Kenvil Ave. SB from US 46.


If you really want to find this ugly sign, look along Changebridge Rd. SB at Van Riper Ave. I stress "if."


The perfect pair, Fanny Rd. NB in Boonton Town and Valley Rd. WB in Boonton Township.


While we're in Boonton, this is the split of Powerville Rd. (left, CR 618 NB mainline) and W. Main St.


While we're along CR 618, this is Pocono Rd. EB at Boulevard (618) in Mountain Lakes. You can see this isn't a stop sign anymore.


All on the same route and direction.


A Morris County directional sign from a bygone time, on CR 601 NB turning from Dicksons Mill Rd. onto Spring Valley Rd. in Green Village.


A two-fer on West Blackwell St. at Prospect St. in Dover.


All these cool signs from back when the wards were full of laughter, crying, and general mayhem stand as a happy reminder that not all of society needs to conform. Or talk normally, or wear clothes, or refrain from eating their own skin.... The hospital is in the process of being replaced with a new facility, and all these old buildings full of nooks and holes and other places that can be exploited by mad people will be torn down, beautiful architecture notwithstanding.


Mt. Pleasant Ave. WB at Mt. Hope Rd. (CR 661) north of Dover.


A curvy, old, gravel back road, Hacklebarney Rd. NB.


A straight, old, paved town road, Elm St. EB in Madison.


Another old bridge, Calais Rd. over India Brook (I think).


Lamerson Rd. heading west from US 206 (again, I think), Pottersville Rd. SB, and Four Bridges Rd. EB over the South Branch Raritan River. The typical Chester street sign proves I was there.


Berkshire Valley Rd. SB just south of I-80. It looks like part of the tunnel was hewn from the rock instead of formed from concrete.


River Rd. WB and then onto Drakestown Rd. WB. The first time, not after heading down River Rd. awhile when it then meets Drakestown again.


On Harter Road near James St., south of Morristown off of I-287.


Exiting Jockey Hollow at Tempe Wick Rd. This sign doesn't feel 20 years old, so it probably postdates the decommissioning of western NJ 24.


Main St. is a town road in Roxbury, so maybe that is why these EB signs are so wrong approaching Hillside Ave. (CR 619).


Mercer St. at Richards Ave., Dover.


There's another Crouse-Hinds blinker a block away on Richards Ave. at Union St.


Older Parsippany street signs that were inserted into 3D housings, similar to West Orange in style and color, then one of a few embossed ones along Lake Parsippany.


Older Parsippany sign that has no bearing now. Once upon a time, Sylvan Way dead-ended at a driveway just east of Dryden Way and Entin Rd. also dead-ended south of Lake Shore Dr. (Back when those two legally connected and I-287 SB Exit 40B went straight into Lake Shore.) The completed development connected these roads but forgot to remove this sign. For over 20 years. So it just sits there, nearly illegible, and in theory possibly misleading a driver to think they can't go any farther.


There are three Morris Counties in the U.S., and the other two are in Texas and Kansas. Given that this sign is at the Connecticut Trolley Museum in East Windsor, CT, and that practically everything else at the museum is from the east coast, I brought it over to this page.
