Extra black space makes this extra-ugly.

Due to the bend in the Delaware River, US 206 goes from the heart of Northern Jersey, to the western edge of Trenton, back into the middle of Southern Jersey, while going basically straight N-S. North of Trenton, US 206 carries substantial traffic, and was considered to be a freeway, with a tiny piece built at I-80. South of US 130, 206 narrows to two lanes and carries far less traffic in the heart of the Pine Barrens.


Old Trenton street sign, of which there are many along US 206 south of center city, and then a tiny shield (typical only along US 206 in Mercer County) where US 206 SB turns right to multiplex with CR 583 into Trenton.

SB in Trenton, these signs come up practically on consecutive street corners - just after the first sign (which mentions a non-existent route - see the US 1 page for much more on that), 206 makes an unsigned left, and the second photo's sign takes you to the right (apologies for poor quality).
