Metuchen from the driver's seat
Metuchen is about 20 minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Route 1, Grove Avenue / Central Avenue and Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway) and the town's own streets and lots.
A small, walkable commuter borough surrounded by Edison: a real Main Street, tight tree-lined residential streets, and a Northeast Corridor station whose lots and garage fill every weekday. Commuter sedans and family cars, many AWD, in driveways and on narrow streets.
Driveways and street parking on narrow residential blocks; the station garage has limited clearance, so cars are moved to the surface lot to load.
Route 1
Skirts the borough's east edge; the nearest highway shoulder for a breakdown.
Grove Avenue / Central Avenue
Residential connectors with tight turns and low-hanging trees for a tall truck.
Route 27 (Middlesex Avenue / Lincoln Highway)
The through-road from Iselin to Highland Park; the Main Street crossing is the town's choke point.
Main Street
Downtown; angled parking, deliveries and dead batteries after a long lunch.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Metuchen station (NJ Transit Northeast Corridor) with its Pearl Street garage and surface lots are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
