3 Roads New Jersey Residents Avoid In The Summer
New Jersey residents know which roads to avoid, and here are the top 3 most avoided in New Jersey during the summer.
One of the great challenges of living in the Garden State is negotiating summer traffic on our already congested roadways.
Jersey Shore Roadways To Avoid In The Summer
In the summer the concentration of traffic is without question at the Jersey Shore, so it is no surprise that each of the top 3 roads to avoid are there, or lead there.
Let's get the most obvious one out of the way first. Unless you have absolutely no choice, New Jersey residents know to avoid the Garden State Parkway south on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and stay away from the northbound side on Sunday.

It's a pretty safe bet to stay off the Parkway every day of the week in the summer if you can, just to be on the safe side.
More New Jersey Roads To Avoid
Another of the big 3 roads to avoid during a Jersey summer is Route 35. It leads to all the popular Jersey Shore destinations just like the Parkway, but Route 35 adds traffic lights to make it a little more interesting.
Another problem with Route 35 is that is a road that literally can't be avoided by most locals, no matter how hard we try.
The other "road" to avoid is Ocean Ave, Ocean Rd., or whatever a particular town calls the road that is the one that hugs the beach or boardwalk. A million pedestrians, a lot of confused drivers, and no parking make it the perfect recipe to land on this list.
