This road (route 133) was built for through traffic on route 33 to bypass Hightstown. It appears that the design speed for this relatively short section of highway was about 70 mph. The posted speed is 50 mph even though it is a limited access divided highway with no cross streets and only two exit/entrance ramps (one in each direction). The posted speed on route 33 (from which westbound traffic exits onto rt. 133)is 55 mph even though it has much cross traffic, many traffic lights and many driveways. The natural tendency is for drivers to speed up, not slow down, when they get on this road because of its relatively high speed design. The sole purpose of the 50 mph speed limit is to enhance the coffers of the local community and help the local police "make quota".
