Tthe area between Woodbridge and Cranford is now backed up every morning during rush hours. Thank you Mr Driscol for your limited vision of the future. Would it have been too much to ask to add 20 lanes each way?

Thank you 1952 NJ voters for passing the GSP. Life would suck harder without it.

Coming from a NJ native, The Parkway is a beautiful highway, esp. in Monmouth County. It is good enough to show off to visitors, which I do sometimes--but not on Labor Day.

how ironic that the pakway is usually a parking lot on the weekends in the summer

Thank you so much for posting this. It also brought back wonderful memories and I can't wait to let my family know it's here. You can be proud of your folks and happy they let you be in it, too.

I'm told by parents, who made the film, that they distributed it by hand: They and relatives drove it around the state to key places, where it was shown to get out the November 4th vote. I'm the kid in the film (there for 2 or 3 seconds) who is in the front seat when the car (buick?) stops short. I actually went through the windshield, which had been deliberately removed, but this doesn't show at all. I think it was cut out. You only see me lurching forward. Thanks for asking.

Be kind. I'm the kid in this film. It's 1952, and I'm supposed to go through the front winshield of the car (about 3 minutes in...during the traffic jam).

The parkway is good. But on labor day weekend, it's blocked up. Think about staying in Atlantic City, Ocean City, Wildwood, or Cape May for a long time. Until the weekend rush is over.

How can you tell the difference between the cars!? And did they have blinkers back then?
