I run back roads, side roads, alley ways, pretty much any road without truck restrictions in NJ with 102 wide trailers, never had an issue. Even our box trucks are 102 wide and never any issue.
NavigatorWife, wis bang and Brettj3876 Thank this. -
But couldn’t figure it out ... everthing is 102 wide now a daysNavigatorWife Thanks this. -
I used to run a Conestoga through NJ all the time and never had any issues. It was 108". Maybe a just got lucky all those times lol
NavigatorWife and Brettj3876 Thank this. -
It is another example of bad regs. It is unconstitutional. The 102 ban is still on the books in NJ, see 16:32-1.1
It is not enforced.NavigatorWife, bzinger and MNTSIDE Thank this. -
The way I understood NJ was 102’s were restricted to the routes highlighted in the truck atlas except for branching off on the shortest route to your destination.
Hell, that whole thing may have been started by drivers using the old 95-31-202-78 trick to not have to run the Turnpike.NavigatorWife and bzinger Thank this. -

I have been all through nj with 102.
NavigatorWife and bzinger Thank this. -
I run 31 all the time too and never get looked at along with some county roads around jamesburg and woodstown .
NavigatorWife, Brettj3876 and MNTSIDE Thank this. -
We bought a used trailer, former Bettaway, that has rub rails added down each side. They told us one DOT cop in NJ saw it and measured and wrote them for being over 102 wide but I have never seen anyone written up for having a 102 off route anywhere.
Locals are not in the truck inspection game here, all the MICSAP funding goes to the State Police. They would be enforcing it if they could. I remember the county truck inspection/weigh units; they were a real PITA but, somehow, the legiscritters voted to make the state police solely responsible for CMV enforcement.
Our newest box trucks were ordered 102 wide and they go everywhere...NavigatorWife, Brettj3876 and bzinger Thank this.
