Welcome
New Jersey is proud to promote bicycling for both day-to-day transportation and for recreation. This atlas, along with the New Jersey Bicycle Map and Resource Guide, provides bicyclists with the information needed to help make
bicycling a convenient and enjoyable travel op- tion. The map includes state bicycle touring routes, elevation, on-road bicycle facilities and a measure of bicycle suitability as well as cultural, historic, recreational and other points of interest.
This map represents the State’s commitment to encourage safe bicycling opportunities throughout the state. It reinforces the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s support for bicycling and the Complete Streets philosophy, and its goal to make New Jersey a sustainable, livable, walkable and bikeable community.
I hope this map will inspire two-wheeled explora- tion of our beautiful and diverse state.
More information on bicycling for both commuting and recreation can be found at:
www.njdot.nj.gov/commuter/bike
Using the map
This atlas and the accompanying map guides provide a wealth of information for bicyclists. This includes information on the suitability of many of the state’s roadways (mostly “through” roads) for bicycling. The ratings are based on traffic volumes, traffic speeds, outside travel lane width, the avail- ability of a paved shoulder, presence of parking and land use. Local access/residential streets have not been rated. However, with their low traffic volumes and speeds, they are generally suitable for bicycling. Also, roadways for which adequate data was not available were not rated.
The suitability measures are geared to an average or typical adult bicyclist. They are intended to pro- vide guidance on the level of comfort or challenge a bicyclist might experience on a given roadway. The suitability ratings pertain to the roadway links and not the intersections. The ratings should not be considered a measure of safety. Ultimately, the level of comfort or challenge, or even the safety as- sociated with riding on a given section of roadway is in large part dependent on the competence, con- fidence and judgment of the bicyclist. The suitabil- ity of a roadway for bicycling can also be related to the purpose of the trip (touring, commuting, etc.).
The user should keep in mind that road conditions continually change: pavements deteriorate, roads are resurfaced and reconstructed, increased development may lead to increased traffic. The suitability ratings provided on this map were effec- tive at the time of the publication of the map. The New Jersey Department of Transportation takes no responsibility for the safety and fitness of the user or for the conditions of roads.

On-road & Off-road Routes Bicyclists may utilize any road that is not signed to the contrary. Road conditions change based on when you ride, weather, construction, and other factors. This map does not make any qualitative judgements about safety of the streets for cycling.
Roads in New Jersey shown in white are unrated.
