One of the last remaining cashes in this power trail.
Route 31 runs 49 miles from Trenton, NJ north to U.S. Route 46 in
Buttzville, NJ. The highway was constructed beginning in 1927. It
was known as Route 30 between 1927 and 1953, when it was renumbered
to Route 69 to avoid conflicting with U.S. Route 30 in southern New
Jersey. It was renumbered to Route 31 in 1969 due to sign theft. So
many signs had been stolen, that on the back of each 69 sign was
the stenciled warning, "HEAVY PENALTY FOR REMOVAL." This warning
was not found on other routes! The sign stealing on Route 69 may
well have peaked when the class of 1969 was in school, and was
probably the straw that broke the back of the NJDOT and led to the
re-designation as Route 31.
