I was driving down an "Old York Road" today that went from (roughly) Burlington to Hightstown, and which can be extended to include rights-of-way using other names (such as Main Street) to Cranbury, NJ. (I considered potential extensions to South Amboy under names such as "Cranbury Road" and "Bordentown Avenue", but I concluded that those were separate roads due to the existence of multiple connecting streets, the apparent ages of the buildings along those streets, as well as the angles of the connecting streets, in Cranbury. The streets in question form at least two blocks in town, and a natural continuation of the road runs northbound and merges into US 130 as "North Main Street".) The road I was driving on has been interrupted by a couple of diversions - one is by both the NJ Turnpike and Route 206 at the Fort Dix NJ Turnpike interchange, and the other one involves the Crosswicks Chesterfield Road south of Crosswicks (which might have been part of the original road).
Now, if we move the road crossing the Brainerd Lake Dam in Cranbury so that its northern point abuts Maplewood Avenue, then we get a through road running ultimately to South Amboy (Cranbury South River Road, Cranbury Road, Main Street, Washington Road, Raritan Avenue, Raritan Street). Anyone wanna bet on colonial origins for at least part of "Old York Road" of south central NJ? 68.37.254.48 (talk) 03:59, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was just going to mention exactly the same... there is another Old York Road from Burlington County into Monmouth, Mercer and Middlesex Counties. This article makes it seem like there is just one "Old York Road" when in fact there are at least two. Famartin (talk) 21:34, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Given the fact that there is another Old York Road in New Jersey as mentioned above, and also the fact that Maryland Route 439 is called Old York Road (and I’m sure there are other roads named Old York Road), maybe this article should be moved to Old York Road (Pennsylvania–New Jersey) to clarify this article is about the Old York Road that stretches through those two states. Old York Road could then become a disambiguation page. Dough487222:11, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
