Plenty of old shields to go around, including some with magnetically polarized numbers that repel each other in times of high humidity. I wonder what else they'll believe...


WB in Somerville, approaching the US 202/US 206 multiplex, where NJ 28 makes its last turn before heading straight on westward into US 22. (It had to come south from Union Ave. to Main Street.) West of where it meets US 22, NJ 28 was the old number for the entire highway, with NJ 29 being the new US 22 constructed to the east (and north of current NJ 28). Now, ungrateful US 22 makes NJ 28 end right where it was about to feel important.


Central Jersey motorists need the most attention. Or at least, the most signage for the same thing.


More WB signs. In fact, there's only one EB sign on this entire page, and it hasn't appeared yet.


Yup, both WB, and only the shields are old.


WB on Broad St., and then... eastbound! The "circle" on the south side of the tracks has been converted to a rotary, and this new non-spec sign should have properly reflected that. Well, the MUTCD should allow ROTARY signage, as right now the best you can do is a few twirly arrows. Note in the second (EB) photo that the white arrow sign is brand new - all of the other ones are quite old, so I think that the contractor replaced what was there as part of the rotary conversion, rather than dream up better signage. I'm not complaining, though.


Union Ave. (not the same one as NJ 28 to the west) and Centennial Ave., NB. at North Ave. NJ 28 crosses from North to South in Westfield, then crosses back later on to that other Union Ave. It makes more sense to me to have NJ 28 follow North Ave. to the end, jog two blocks to Union Ave., and stay there, than cross the tracks twice, but maybe it only makes sense because I had to put up with overpass reconstruction detours during sign-gathering.
