Questions on this mysterious yet inconsistent route

NJ 7 is said to have two sections, stated by NJDOT's straight line diagram. Although I doubt NJDOT has updated that diagram its safe to suggest that just maybe NJ 7 has actually become one route based on what I saw while driving it and the evidence is on Google Map's Street View. Here you will find a "JCT NJ 7" shield just before NJ 7 (according to what I saw/is on google maps) turns from Rutgers Street to Wash. Ave and vise-versa. You can see the "NJ 7 S to the left" shield just above the snapple truck on Wash. Ave before the int with Rutgers Street. Here is another "NJ 7 North" shield just west of the NJ-21 interchange suggesting that NJ 7 continues past NJ-21 in contrast to all the sources in this article. But that's only the half of it, based on what I saw NJ 7 could very well end at NJ 3. NJ 3 Westbound BGS on NJ 7. NJ 7 South shield on the off-ramp from NJ-3 EB. NJ 7 S shield just north of Orange Street (Clifton/Nutley line), the terminus stated on this article. Based on my findings, NJDOT may have made this route continuous from NJ 3 to US 1-9 Truck based on the shields put up but may have forgotten to update it on the straight line diagram. My question is this, should we go with the original SLD source, or with these new findings? 71.175.193.2 (talk) 03:59, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

For now, I think we should stay with the SLD as it is still the official source listing the routing of NJ 7. If there are any updates to the SLD or any other official announcements that NJ 7 has been rerouted, the article will be updated accordingly. By the way, just because a route is signed on a road does not mean it officially follows that road. For example, New Jersey Route 24 is still signed on its former routing along CR 510, CR 513, and CR 517 between Morristown and Hackettstown even though the route officially only comprises the freeway linking I-78 in Springfield with I-287 in Hanover Township. The article on NJ 24 only describes the routing on the expressway. Dough4872 15:28, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

While I agree that the SLD clearly shows two separate segments with a gap in mileage, I find it curious that the article refers to an "intentional discontinuity" but does not provide an explanation (or indicate that no good explanation exists). Why the heck is the southern end of the northern segment south of the northern end of the southern segment? If NJ DOT intended there to be a discontinuity in this state route bridged by a county-maintained segment, one wouldn't expect the northern segment to continue southward of Rutgers Street.
