State Highways of New Jersey



SR 537 is, in large part, a combination of several turnpikes that, when strung together, connected Camden with Long Branch. The old roads were known as the Moorestown & Camden Turnpike, the Mount Holly & Jobstown Turnpike, the Freehold & Smithville Turnpike, the Freehold & Colts Neck Turnpike, the Tinton Falls Turnpike, and the Eatontown & Seashore Turnpike. Most of those names no longer exist; for instance, between Mount Holly and Freehold, the road is generally known simply as Monmouth Road. For ten miles, Monmouth Road forms the border between Monmouth and Ocean counties.

Despite its odd number, SR 537 violates the rule of cardinal direction by running generally east-west and being signed as such. It is also logged by NJDOT as an east-west road. In Camden, Federal Street is one-way eastbound for the last mile; traffic uses Market Street, SR 537 Spur, to continue west to Delaware Avenue. I have combined these two roads in this log.
