Other County Routes
Most counties in New Jersey follow the 500-series county routes with their own county routes numbered otherwise. Only two counties – Bergen County and Monmouth County – have not adopted 600-series numbers. Ocean County also has a number of minor one- and two-digit routes in addition to their 600-series routes. While the majority of New Jersey's counties put signs on their 600 (or secondary) routes, Hudson County apparently doesn't sign any of them, and Ocean County has chosen to sporadically sign them. The only 600 signage to appear in Ocean County has been put up as a result of recent construction projects, which can cause confusion for those not familiar with the area.
In some counties, the 600-series numbers can break into the 700s and even 800s. Atlantic, Camden, Cumberland, Hudson, Hunterdon, Gloucester, and Passaic Counties continue past the 600-series into routes beginning with 7, and Middlesex County includes one route in the 800s, even though it has only three beginning with 7.
As every piece of New Jersey is part of an incorporated municipality, every road not designated a county or state route is locally maintained.

Famous quotes containing the words county and/or routes:
“Hold hard, my county darlings, for a hawk descends,
Golden Glamorgan straightens, to the falling birds.
Your sport is summer as the spring runs angrily.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
