Of all the states I've lived in, I always thought that NJ's signage was the best. It must just be me.

Or it may just be me. My New Jersey driving paranoia goes back a good couple of decades. I think it's not so much that signage is lacking, as that it's usually RIGHT ON TOP OF the turn you need to make. There's little or no advance warning.

I guess i'm used to driving with my Father navigating... he says "TURN NOW" just about as you are almost past the street. :-P

I bought a GPS navigation unit for a reason... to get from Philly back to NJ, not the other way around. ;-)

Though I'll admit, it often comes in handy here in NJ as well.

That is what driving in New Jersey is all about. They make it as difficult as possible to leave since otherwise nobody would stay.
