The New Jersey Turnpike (or simply The Turnpike as it is known to New Jersey residents is a Toll road in New Jersey and is one of the most heavily traveled The next exit on I-95 is exit 68, which is consistent with the exit numbering on I-80, which are 68A and 68B, respectively. (The truth is that the exit numbers on this section of I-95 match the mile markers on I-95 had the Somerset Freeway been built. The Somerset Freeway was the planning name for an unbuilt section of Interstate 95 in central New Jersey from Hopewell Township in Mercer County The fact that they are similar to what the exit numbers are on I-80 is just a coincidence. )
