U.S. #1 is 3 lanes with approx. 1 mile of open highway before the next barrage of traffic lights after leaving the traffic light-per-block just north in Elizabeth. There is a far left gradual left lane merge from 278 a little more than a half mile up. On the right is a hidden street, Willowglade Rd., where police will sit. They also sit back from the road before that location in the long entrance to a small mall. The opposite northbound side also is used by police for the same reason. It’s the only open highway to get past blocking traffic between Linden and Elizabeth.
