Westbound in the Parkside neighborhood past a classic patched shield to a classic street sign, also showing off a classic one-way sign.


Speaking of Parkside, EB at Parkside Ave. courtesy Scott Colbert. Turning right at this second-generation LGS (replacing an embossed white sign) leads to the TO SOUTH 29 assembly atop the NJ 29 page. The existence of the state-standard 1930's pole on State St. demonstrates that before John Fitch Parkway, NJ 29 used State Street into Trenton to end at US 206.


There are many ancient street signs to be found in the neighborhoods outside downtown. Check out the leafy detail between the sign blades on this WB example.


Calhoun St. SB at State St. with an original state-issue sign pole. Decades ago, before even the "Trenton Makes" bridge, Calhoun St. was the original iteration of US 1, meeting the original incarnation of NJSHR 29 (prior to the riverfront parkway).


Across downtown to Clinton Ave. SB, which meets State St. at an angle and then bends to 90° after. But the signs are old and therefore cool. Also not noted anywhere is that CR 635 begins to the left along State St. It actually only goes as far as the city line, and county maintenance doesn't even begin until the next light at Chestnut Ave. But fun fact - at the city line it actually upgrades from 635 to 535.


Before we get there, here are old signals facing Chambers St. NB and SB.
