Orient Way is Rutherford's boulevard. The 49½-foot-wide street is the borough's widest if you exclude state highways 3 and 17. The road was designed as a "high road" alternate to the Newark-Hackensack Turnpike, which ran along the edge of the meadows.
The street starts from Erie Avenue at Station Square and runs south (southwest) to Rutherford Avenue and on into Lyndhurst. The Lyndhurst portion is county road 11, but the Rutherford portion remains under municipal jurisdiction.
