It is so confusing. I fly in a couple times a year. I need to head west on 78 and I swear I’m going in every possible direction before I get to 78 and then there’s a sudden left exit-only down to Newark. I’ve done that a few times also.

I used to be in and out of Newark all the time. Knew the way to 78 West like the back of my hand. One day, I blinked at the wrong time and wound up in downtown Newark.

That sign leaving the terminals, It’s got 78, 22, 21, 1+9, Turnpike, Newark, Clinton, New York…maybe more. It’s impossible to figure out while driving without coming to a complete stop in the middle of the road.

Going slowly to try and figure out which lane to be in will likely get you rear-ended or at the very least given the finger.

Yeah, pretty much, unless you’re going to Newark, stay in the right lanes of 78 until you cross route 21

You should see what it replaced... 1/9, 22, 21 had a traffic circle.... It's about 49 feet under the ramps, and obliterated.
They built the spaghetti to end traffic jams, and if you're there any weekday you can see that they failed... (Now they're expansive traffic jams)
