1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering Totally Explained

Everything about 1953 New Jersey State Highway Renumbering totally explained

On January 1, 1953, the New Jersey Department of Transportation renumbered many of the State Routes. A few rules were followed in deciding what to renumber:

No State Route and U.S. Route could have the same number; this eliminated 1 (which was also eliminated by other criteria), 22, 30, 40 and 46.
Concurrencies were highly discouraged; this included U.S. Routes and meant that U.S. Route numbers would now be referred to directly by NJDOT.
No State Route could have a lettered prefix or suffix.
A State Route that ended at a state border was renumbered to match the number assigned by the adjacent state. New numbers assigned semi-arbitrarily included 15 and 20 (13-20 were not assigned in the 1927 renumbering), the sequence from 57 to 93, and 152 to 165 for minor routes (continuing from pre-renumbering 151).
