[edit] CR 1

County Route 1 extends 6.54 miles (10.53 km) from County Route 571 at Elys Corner east to the intersection of County Route 527 and County Route 527 Alternate in Carrs Corner.^[1] It runs entirely within Millstone Township, carrying the name of Sweetmans Lane and Perrineville Road. CR 1 provides a southern alternative to Route 33 via County Route 571 and County Route 527.

From its western terminus at CR 571, CR 1 heads east along Perrineville Road before intersecting Prodelin Way and turning south through the town of Perrineville.^[2] It then turns east again, and Perrineville Road becomes Sweetmans Lane. In Sweetman, the route turns northeast, passing the Charleston Springs Golf Course, before reaching its terminus in Carrs Corner.^[3]

CR 1 was formerly part of CR 3. It was separated from the balance of CR 3 with the 1952 establishment of CR 527 as part of the 500-series county routes.

[edit] CR 2

County Route 2, locally known as 6th Avenue in Neptune and Brinley Avenue in Bradley Beach, is 2.07 miles (3.33 km) in length.^[4] It runs from NJ 33 in Neptune to Ocean Avenue in Bradley Beach. The speed limit is 30 mph from Route 33 until Route 71, then the speed limit reduces to 25 mph.

County Route 2 begins as Oxford Avenue at a traffic light with Route 33 in Neptune City. One block in, the road turns east onto 6th Avenue, bringing the road towards Bradley Beach. At mile marker 1.02, the road intersects Route 35 at a traffic light. 1/4 of a mile later, the road intersects CR 5, CR 40A, and NJ 71, respectively, and, following the latter, enters Bradley Beach. The road continues for just over a half a mile until its eastern terminus with CR 18 (Ocean Avenue).

Municipality	Milepost[4]	Road	Type of Intersection
Neptune City	0.00	NJ 33 (Corlies Avenue)	Traffic signal
Neptune Twp	1.02	NJ 35	Traffic signal
	1.30	Atkins Avenue	Traffic signal; Former CR 5
	1.42	CR 40A (Memorial Drive)	Traffic signal
Bradley Beach	1.50	NJ 71 (Main Street)	Traffic Signal
	2.07	CR 18 (Ocean Avenue)	Traffic signal

[edit] CR 3

County Route 3 extends 13.21 miles (21.26 km) from County Route 527 in Manalapan to Route 35 in Keyport.^[5] It is the most direct route from the southwestern part of the county to the north-central section. For the majority of the route, the posted speed limit is 40 mph; however, it is 35 mph from just south of County Route 522 to Craig Road in Tennent, and 35 mph from Greenwood Road to Route 34 in Morganville and Aberdeen Township.

County Route 3 begins as Main Street at a new traffic signal with County Route 527 (Millhurst Road) in Manalapan. After crossing County Route 522 (Freehold Road), the route becomes Tennent Road, which it remains for the majority of the route.

Technically, County Route 3 becomes Morganville Road for a brief 0.3 miles between the Gordon's Corner Road/U.S. Route 9 interchange and the Marlboro Township border, but this designation is rarely used due to the fact that there are few driveways and no cross streets in this area. Once entering Marlboro, County Route 3 becomes Tennent Road once again.

When County Route 3 reaches Route 79 in Morganville at a traffic signal, traffic must make a left turn, drive 0.1 miles, and turn right at the next traffic signal onto Lloyd Road to stay on County Route 3. Lloyd Road takes the route the remainder of its length past Route 34 to Route 35, where it ends in Keyport.

[edit] CR 5

County Route 5 is situated entirely in Neptune City, where it is known as Steiner Avenue. It is 0.64 miles (1.03 km) long.^[8]

Monmouth County assumed jurisdiction over Steiner Avenue and Atkins Avenue on May 11, 1898. At that time, county jurisdiction ran from Shark River Road (now Sylvania Avenue) north to Summerfield Avenue in Asbury Park, a distance of 1.7 miles. By 1929 it was numbered as CR 35. (The 1929 numbering was wholly unrelated to the system in use today.) In the 1937 renumbering, this road was assigned to the County Route 17 system of roads. At that time, the CR 5 designation was assigned to another route. When the 500-series routes were established in 1952 and the former CR 5 was superseded by CR 520, the number 5 was reassigned to Steiner and Atkins Avenues.

Sometime after 1953, Atkins Avenue within the City of Asbury Park was released back to the city. Recently, the portion of Atkins Avenue in Neptune Township was released to the township, although it is still signed as CR 5.^[9]

[edit] CR 6

County Route 6 consists of four sections totaling 3.56 miles (5.73 km) in length.^{[10][11][12][13]} Section 1 begins in Aberdeen Township at NJ 35 and extends east along Amboy Avenue to the Matawan-Keyport Bridge over Matawan Creek, which forms the boundary with Keyport. When CR 6 enters Keyport, it becomes West Front Street and continues to its junction with County Route 4 (Broad Street). Section 1 ends at this point. Section 2 is entirely within Keyport; it begins at the intersection of Broadway and West Fourth Street (CR 516) and continues north along Broadway to West Front Street (CR 6, Section 1), where CR 6 in effect has a junction with itself. Section 3 begins in Keyport at the intersection of First Street and Stone Road; it extends east along Stone Road and crosses Chingarora Creek, after which it forms the boundary between Union Beach and Hazlet Township, and terminates at NJ 36.

The fourth section is a connecting link between Section 1 and Section 3. It is signed as CR 6. It begins at the intersection of Broad Street and First Street; this point is also the northern terminus of CR 4. It extends east along First Street and crosses Chingarora Creek into Union Beach where it is known as Broadway. It continues east along Broadway to its terminus at CR 39 (Florence Avenue).

[edit] Major intersections

Intersections are listed from CR 6's westernmost terminus at Route 35 in Aberdeen to its easternmost terminus at Route 36 at the Hazlet–Union Beach town line. Mileposts are listed with roman numerals to indicate which section is being referred to.

[edit] CR 6A

Main article: County Route 6A (Monmouth County, New Jersey)

County Route 6A is numbered as a spur of County Route 6, although the two routes do not intersect. (The northern terminus of CR 6A is 0.15 miles (0.24 km) north of the western terminus of CR 6.) It runs from County Route 516 Spur in Matawan to Route 35 in Aberdeen, and totals 3.04 miles (4.89 km) in length.

[edit] CR 7

County Route 7 runs from Route 35 in Holmdel north past Route 36 to Keansburg before looping back south to terminate at Route 36 in Hazlet. It is 2.81 miles (4.52 km) long.^[14] Between Route 35 and its eastern intersection with Route 36, County Route 7 straddles the western border of Middletown Township; that intersection with Route 36 is at the tripoint between Hazlet, Middletown, and Keansburg.

A 0.61-mile (0.98 km) spur extends along Port Monmouth Road in Keansburg to the Middletown Township border.^[15]
