State Parkway Park ( GSP ) is a 172.4 mile (277.5 km) restricted parking access road that runs along New Jersey from the New York line at Montvale to the Cape May at the southernmost tip of the state. His name refers to the nickname of New Jersey, "Garden State". Most New Jerseyers call it just " Parkway ". The official name of the parkway, but unmarked is Route 444 . At the north end, the parkway becomes Garden State Parkway Connector, a component of the New York State Thruway system that connects to the Thruway main line in Ramapo. The Parkway is primarily for the use of passenger vehicles, with trucks weighing more than 10,000 pounds banned at the north of exit 105. Parkway has been classed as the country's busiest toll road based on the number of toll transactions. About 172 miles, Parkway is the longest highway in the state.

Route description
The Garden State Parkway begins on a class exchange trumpet with Route 109 in the Lower Township. Southbound, intersection with Route 109 marked as exit 0. Parkway runs north as a four-lane limited access road through Cape May County, crossing the intersection with Route 47 and Route 147, which provides driver access to nearby Wildwood and Wildwood nearby. Cross over to Cape May Court House, road across exits 9, 10, and 11, the former intersections at an enhanced level for multilevel interchanges. At exit 13, there is access to the city of Avalon, showing a strange intersection with a left-handed combination of median highways. After exit 17, access to Sea Isle City, the parkway reaches Sea View Service Area.
Exit 17 north marks the last intersection on the parkway before a cost barrier in Cape May County, as Upper Township marks the Cape May Toll Barrier location. Run west from the swamps along the Jersey Shore, parkway across the intersection with Route 50 (the last eastern end). Just north, the median parkway is the home of John B. Townsend Shoemaker's Holly Picnic Area, one of two of the original ten picnic areas remaining along the Parkway. At exit 25 in Upper Township, the US 9 Northbound Route joins the road before crossing Great Egg Harbor Bay just east of Point Beesley Bridge. After landing in the Atlantic County Somers Point community, Route 9 will be dead at exit 29, located next to the Great Egg Toll Plaza heading south.
Returning to a four-lane artery, the parkway runs along the western edge of Somers Point, immediately across to Egg Harbor Township. In Egg Harbor Township, exit 36 ​​marks the intersection with US Routes 40, US Route 322 and City Route 563. This marks the first of three intersections with streets accessing Atlantic City, which is located on the east. Two miles north, the road crosses a clover junction with limited access to Atlantic City Expressway. Crossing west from the Atlantic City Dam, the parkway is now six lanes, crossing the intersection with the U.S. Route. 30 (White Horse) in Pomona. To the north of the exit, the median parkway is home to the Atlantic Service Area, which also provides homes for New Jersey State Police barracks and access to CR. 561. Glides north to Port Republic Wildlife Management Area, Route 9 rejoins the parkway and cross the Mullica River to Burlington County.
Now at Bass River Township, Route 9 departs at exit 50. On the north exit 53, the parkway crosses the Bass River Toll Barrier to the north. Crossing north through the Bass River State Forest, the six-lane highway becomes deserted. At exit 63, Route 72 meets the Parkway, providing access to Manahawkin and Long Beach Island. Crossing northeast through Pine Barrens, the parking lane crossing into Lacey Township and Forked River Service Area in the median. On the north exit 77, the route crosses through Double Trouble State Park and enters the Toms River area. At Toms River, the parkway meets with Route 37, which provides access to Lakehurst, Seaside Heights, and Island Beach State Park. The north exit 83 is the Toll River Toll Barrier heading south.
To the north of the Toms River Toll Barrier, the parkway crosses the intersection with Route 70, connecting Brick Township and Point Pleasant Beach. Cross over via Brick Township, parkway reaches exit 98 near Allaire State Park. The exchange, previously designated as 96 and 97, involves a pair of collector-distributor roads to reach Interstate 195, Route 34 and Route 138. A park and rides are present in clover with Route 138. Now in Monmouth County, the parkway reaches the Monmouth Service Area in the median. The service area provides parks and commute trips and access to County Route 18 (Belmar Boulevard). In the north of the service area, the parkway enters a stretch of 100A-C exit, serving Route 33 and Route 66. North exit 102 in Tinton Falls, reaching the Asbury Park Toll Barrier.
After the toll road barrier, two-way roads extend to the express and local lanes in each direction. Right north of the split sign out 105, serving Route 18 and Route 36. The connecting road from the parkway to Route 36 and CR 51 terminals (Hope Line) is designated as Route 444S. Windward express and local route to the northwest through Monmouth County, past Easthold Freehold. At exit 116, access is provided to PNC Bank Arts Center, Telegraph Hill Picnic Area, and New Jersey Vietnam Veterans Memorial. There is also access to nearby Crawfords Corner Road in Holmdel Township and park and ride nearby. Crossing West Hazlet, parkway reaches exit 117 and exit 118, which marks access to Route 35, Route 36 and Aberdeen nearby. This connector path is designated as Route 444R. Parkway crosses northwest through Cheesequake State Park, bending to Middlesex County.
Through Middlesex County, this parkway has a Cheesequake Service Area in the median, with access to express and local expressways from the highway. Crossing into South Amboy, the paths converge together as they reach the Raritan Toll Barrier to the south. Here, out south 125 is the only EZ-Pass exit on the highway, reaching Chevalier Avenue in South Amboy. Paralleing Routes 9 and Route 35, all three crossing the Raritan River. Parkway becomes 13 lanes as it traverses the Driscoll Bridge. The north path split for exit 127, the big intersection for Rotue 440 and Route 9, provides access to Outerbridge Crossing. To the north of exit 127 at Woodbridge Township, the parkway reaches exit 129, which provides access to the New Jersey Turnpike and Route 9. Run northeast through Woodbridge Township, parkway across Route 1 at exit 130 and Route 27 at exit 132. There is also access north to the Metropark station from New Jersey Transit at exit 131B.
To the north of exit 132, the parkway turns northeast, passes the service area of ​​Colonia South and Colonia North, along with the closed Madison Hill Picnic Area.

History
The S101 route is a planned northern extension of Route 101 from Hackensack via Paramus to the New York state line near Montvale. Parts of Hackensack to Paramus were never built; part of Paramus to the state line will be part of Garden State Parkway.
Parkway was originally designated as a Route 4 Parkway when it started in 1947 in Union County, but, due to lack of funds, only 11 miles (18 km) were completed in 1950. The solution was for the state to establish a Road Authority Raya New Jersey in 1952 to oversee construction and operation as a liquid highway. Most of the original parts, between exits 129 and 140, have long been administered by the New Jersey Department of Transport and are always inviolable. The segment can be distinguished by the stone facing the overpass.
The Parkway was built between 1946 and 1957 to connect northern New Jersey suburbs to resort areas along the Atlantic coast and to reduce traffic on traditional north-south routes that run through any city center, such as US 1, US $ 9, and Route 35 Unofficially, it has two parts: the "metropolitan section" north of the Raritan River and the "beach" between the Raritan River and Cape May. Only 18 miles (29 km) was built in 1950, but took a cue from the successful New York State Thruway, on April 14, 1952, the New Jersey Legislature created the New Jersey Highway Authority, empowered to build, operate and maintain independent expressway parking from Paramus to Cape May.
The landscape architect and engineer responsible for the newly named Garden State Parkway is Gilmore David Clarke, from Parsons architectural firm Brinkerhof, Hall and MacDonald, who has worked with Robert Moses on a parkway system around New York City. Clarke's prototype design for the parkway incorporates the Pennsylvania Turnpike example, a parallel efficiency model on the German Autobahn route of the 1930s, with the Merritt Parkway model emphasizing a green "belt" grown for beauty. Both design models feature a wide median planted to prevent direct collisions and cover the approaching headlights. Garden State Parkway is designed to have a natural feel. Many trees are planted, and the only sign is to get out - no annoying billboards. Most of the signs are built of wood, or dark brown metal, not chrome rods used on most other highways. The guardrail is also made of wood and dark metal. The earliest overpass was stone, but later converted into concrete, with green rails and retro etch, popular around the 1950s and 1960s. It's now in disrepair and replaced by a sleek new bridge. Parkway is designed to curl gently along its length so that the driver will remain alert and not fall asleep behind the wheel.
Most of the metropolitan parts are like other toll roads built in the 1950s through densely populated areas. The shore parallels US $ 9 and walks through the unspoiled wilderness of New Jersey Pine Barrens. In Cape May County, the parkway has three traffic lights (at exits 9, 10 and 11), but this was eliminated in 2015, with the construction of three flyovers at Cape May Court House and Stone Harbor.
Parkway has a long alignment before the Great Egg Harbor Bridge is over. Fixed to US $ 9 and passed Point Beesley Bridge. The bridge was closed in 2003 and destroyed in 2014.
Garden State Parkway is off limits to motorcycles until Malcolm Forbes manages to encourage law to allow it.
On July 9, 2003, Governor Jim McGreevey's plans to incorporate the organization of the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike operations into one agency have been completed.
The literature of the parkway construction time indicates that the parkway will be toll-free once the bonds used for construction are paid off. However, additional construction projects, plus the hope that the parkway will pay for maintenance and its own policing (and a large E-ZPass project) make it impossible to become toll free in the future.
The parkway was also planned to be the southern terminal for Route 55 on the 19th milemarker. It was canceled after the conclusion that the highway had passed too many wetlands. This idea is still being reviewed after frequent traffic jams on Route 47.
On July 22, 2014, the New Jersey Turnpike Authority filed a federal suit against Jersey Boardwalk Pizza, a pizza chain in Florida, for using a logo too similar to a nameplate for Garden State Parkway. Federal Judge William Martini dismissed the lawsuit on March 26, 2015.
Usage
The speed limit on the parkway is 65 mph (105 km/h) with the following exceptions: 55 mph (90 km/h) between mileposts 123.5 and 163.3, 55 mph (90 km/h) between mileposts 80.0 and 85 , 2, and 45 mph (70 km/h) between milepost 27 and 29, approached and crossed the Great Egg Harbor Bridge, and between milepost 126.7 and 127.7, approached and crossed the Driscoll Bridge.
Commercial trucks with registered weight of more than 10,000 pounds (4,500 kg) are not allowed to use the northern part of the parkway.
All trucks have to exit at exit 105, past Asbury Park toll road. From Tinton Falls to the south end of the parkway in Cape May, trucks are allowed, but must pay an additional fee. Buses are allowed for the entire length of the parkway. In April 2011, New Jersey Transportation Commissioner James Simpson announced that NJTA was looking into the possibility of allowing trucks in the northern part of the Garden State Parkway. However, the idea was soon abandoned after the agency found it had engineering problems that would allow consideration of allowing trucks in this segment to be impossible.
Collection of toll
While the New Jersey Turnpike uses a long-distance ticket system, which is gained once by a motorist upon entering and giving up on exit at the toll gate ("closed" system), Park Park Parkway does not use tickets but collects tolls in the toll plaza at rather regular intervals throughout length and at certain exits ("open" systems). By 2017, the number of standard cars is $ 0.75 on the main road in two-way toll plazas and $ 1.50 on one-way toll roads. Some individual exits require a toll of $ 0.50, $ 0.75, or $ 1.50.
Parkway has implemented E-ZPass electronic toll collection system; the first square opened in December 1999, and the system was completed on September 19, 2000. Token parkways continue to be available until January 1, 2002, and are not effective from 1 January 2009. Drivers using the correct path of change are now required to pay by coins only in all toll bins. Union Toll Plaza is the first to use automated toll machines. A plaque to commemorate this event includes the first quarter collected at the toll gate.
The token initially costs $ 10 for a roll of 40 tokens (the victim is 25 cents when the token is introduced), but when the toll increases to 35 cents, the roll is 30 tokens for $ 10. Before canceling tokens, NJHA gives a few monthly warnings and gives the rider the chance to exchange tokens. The token is initially brass, but is converted into a bimetallic composition with an outer silver ring and a brass core. There is also a larger bus token that exists in every composition, especially for the use of buses bound in Atlantic City. It is sold in rolls of 20 for $ 20.
To reduce congestion, several toll plazas on the street were converted into one-way plazas between September 2004 and February 2010, dubbed "one-way tolling". Under this program, a $ 1.50 toll (70 cents or two tokens when first implemented from September 2004 to November 2008 and $ 1.00 implemented from December 2008 to December 2011 which is the first phase of the toll boost) is collected in one direction , and other directions toll free. The Cape May (in Upper Township), Great Egg (at Somers Point), New Gretna (in Bass River Township), Barnegat (at Barnegat Township), Asbury Park (in Tinton Falls), Raritan (in Sayreville), Union Hillside Township), Essex (in Bloomfield Township), Bergen (in Saddle Brook Township), and the Pascack Valley Valley (in Washington Township) toll have been converted into one-way toll plazas. Toms River (at Toms River Township) Toll Plaza is the only $ 0.75 barrier plaza that is collected in both directions.
Beginning on November 19, 2001, E-ZPass subscribers were subject to an approximate token rate of 33 cents (peak trip) or 30 cents (off-peak travel) instead of 35 cents. Due to the tremendous cost overruns in implementing the E-ZPass system on the New Jersey freeway, the discount was waived next year. NJHA E-ZPass subscribers are charged a $ 1 per month account, causing many customers to submit their NJHA E-ZPass transponder supporting transponders from non-state authorities that do not charge a monthly fee.
On January 8, 2008, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine proposed a 50 percent increase in the toll on parkways and an effective turnpike in 2010, which will be followed by a similar 50 percent increase every four years until 2022. Each time a toll increases, there will be an additional increase for inflation since the last toll increase (for the first, since 2006). The increase in the number of tolls, which will occur on all three New Jersey tolls, will, according to Corzine, help pay off state debts. The streets will be run by a non-profit "public aid company" that will pay back the bonds to the state. Without considering inflation, the proposal would raise the 35 cents toll standards at Garden State Parkway to around $ 1.80 by 2022, with the toll for the entire length of the North State Parkway Park rising from $ 4.55 to $ 30.10 by 2022. it is considered possible that commuters will receive a discount from higher toll rates. The proposal was not enforced due to strong opposition from the state of New Jersey. On September 5, 2008, a proposal to increase the tollway was reported to have been reported. The first phase of the toll increase at Garden State Parkway takes effect on December 1, 2008. On January 1, 2012, the toll tariff at Garden State Parkway is $ 0.50 for the highway, $ 0.75 for two-way toll roads, and $ 1.50 for one-way obstacles.
There are three types of toll lanes in toll plazas, but not all plazas have every kind of lanes at all times. The first is E-ZPass only, which only accepts vehicles with E-ZPass tags. The speed limit on this line is 15 mph (24 km/h), or 55-65 mph (89-105 km/h) for the E-ZPass Express line.
The second type of path is the right change. Although they previously received parkways tokens or correct changes, the tokens are no longer sold after January 1, 2002, and are no longer accepted in the parkway after January 1, 2009. Drivers using the correct change path are now required to pay by coins only.. In this path, the rider deposits the coins in the toll bucket and each coin is calculated mechanically. Toll payments are enforced by photos, a system that entered into force on 17 October 2011.
The third type of toll road is cash receipts. These lines are manned; Toll collectors can give drivers changes and receipts. E-ZPass is also accepted.
Picnic area
One of the goals of the parkway is to be a state park in length, and its users will enjoy the aesthetic like a garden with minimal intrusion of urban landscapes. Along the way, users are allowed to stop and picnic along the way to better enjoy the quality of relaxation that parkway has to offer. All picnic areas have tall trees that provide shade and visual isolation from the highway. Grills, benches, running water and toilets are provided. Over time when the parkway turned into a trade street, the picnic area was closed for various reasons. Their ramp terminals become inadequate to accommodate high-speed mainstream traffic and in addition to declining user numbers, picnic areas become more effective as maintenance yards and converted as or closed completely.
The two remaining picnic areas are closed from dusk to dawn. The signs posted on the picnic area prohibit fires and camping.
There are ten operational picnic areas:
Service area
All service areas are located in the middle median, unless otherwise noted.
Park-ettes
In the 1950s, four petroleum companies were hired to provide gasoline and vehicle requirements - Esso, Texaco, Atlantic, and City Service. The Municipal Service Company is a provider of oil in Monmouth, Forked River, Atlantic City (Absecon at the time) and Ocean View (Seaville at the time) and offers services where female employees are hired for showroom of the service area, wearing uniforms and known as Park -ettes. Their tasks include providing direction and other information to the rider as well as rendering bits of weird services such as sewing a missing button on a protective coat.
Exit list
Many entrances and exits have tolls. In general, the exits have tolls as they go ahead of the toll road barrier, and come out free when they follow the toll road barrier. Instead, the entrance that precedes the free toll road barrier; and tolls are paid at the entrance just outside the toll road barrier. This avoids multiple breakthroughs (e.g., Pays a boundary and then immediately pays out) and under-tolling (e.g., Drive long distances and then exit for free just before the toll road barrier).
There is no freeway between exit 127 and 141, inclusive, since this is the original road link that precedes the New Jersey Highway Authority.
