Here are the roads Jersey Shore drivers dread more than any others (from 4-1).

Route 22 Springfield/Union area. People who don't want to drive on this stretch of roadway really don't want to drive on it. Dangerous drivers and maddening traffic make this the #4 most dreaded road according to you.

Interstate 287. You never know what you're going to get on any stretch of 287. Wait a minute, yes you do. A ton of traffic. Dana reminds us on Facebook to avoid our #3 worst road like the plague. You got that right.

Route 70 Brick. The congestion and traffic are legendary. Lots of stores, lots of traffic, and not a lot of lanes. That's why it's #2 on your list. And anyone who needs to drive on it knows why.

Route 9, Lakewood. It really wasn't even close. This was about as clear a win as you could have. Many people just said "Lakewood", but the clear winner was Route 9 in Lakewood, especially where it goes down to one lane by the hospital. Route 9 in Lakewood is the most dreaded road in New Jersey according to you.
