A short segment of highway between US 130 and SR 535 is still signed by Middlesex County as SR 539, but it is officially designated as Middlesex CR 685.
There are only two significant population centers on the highway between Cranbury and Tuckerton, Hightstown (the intersection with NJ 33 and SR 571) and Allentown (where the road meets SR 524 and SR 526). South of Allentown, there are signalized major intersections with NJ 70 and SR 537 near the community of Whiting as well as with NJ 72 not far from Warren Grove.
