1927 New Jersey State Highway renumbering

In 1927, the State Highways in New Jersey were renumbered. The previous system was already falling apart, with duplicate numbers and unnumbered roads. Thus, a whole new system was legislated. Main routes received numbers from 1 to 12 and 21 to 50. Spurs received a prefix of S; an S4A was also assigned as a spur of 4. 18N was kept (but soon became part of 1), and parts of 4, 5 and 8 became 4N, 5N and 8N.

It appears that for a short time after the renumbering, old numbers were still used alongside new numbers for other roads.

In this table, 'unnum' refers to a road that was legislated before 1927 but not numbered, and '--' refers to a road that was not legislated before 1927.
