Perth Amboy from the driver's seat
Perth Amboy is about 16 minutes from our Linden yard; the calls here run on Route 9, Route 440 and Route 35 (Convery Boulevard / Amboy Avenue) and the town's own streets and lots.
A dense, old port city at the mouth of the Raritan: tight rowhouse and multifamily blocks, a busy Smith Street downtown, the waterfront on Raritan Bay, and the Outerbridge Crossing to Staten Island. Street parking is fought over, alternate-side rules are real, and the Route 440 and Route 35 approaches to the bridge carry constant traffic.
Packed curbside parking with alternate-side rules; cars are often boxed in and have to be pulled forward with a dolly before loading. Open lots at the station, the waterfront and the Route 35 shopping centers.
Route 9
Skirts the northwest edge toward Fords and the Driscoll Bridge.
Route 440
The Outerbridge approach; the toll plaza backups and the merge from Route 9 produce collisions and breakdowns daily.
Route 35 (Convery Boulevard / Amboy Avenue)
The city's main highway through the west side; jughandles and the Victory Bridge to Sayreville.
Smith Street
Downtown's main drag; double-parked, slow, and where most lockouts and jump starts in the city happen.
Commuter lots
Dead batteries and lockouts at Perth Amboy station (NJ Transit North Jersey Coast Line) and its lots and Perth Amboy ferry and waterfront are regular roadside calls, most of them early morning and evening.
