The New Jersey Turnpike is a controlled-access highway throughout, with 17 interchanges, including those at the terminals. Acceleration and deceleration lanes are 1,200 feet long at interchanges and at service areas to assure additional safety in merging with traffic on the Turnpike, or to reduce speed to a reasonable level when leaving the Turnpike to merge with urban or rural traffic.
