U.s. Highway 22United States Highway 22, an east-west route, is one of the original United States highways of 1926. It originally ran from Cambridge, Ohio in the west to Elizabeth, New Jersey in the east; today, it runs from Cincinnati, Ohio to Newark, New Jersey near the Newark Liberty International Airport. Highway 22 is also referred to as William Penn Highway throughout most of Pennsylvania. Route 22 runs through central New Jersey, where it is known as "The Highway from Hell". This is due to the fact that it has a high speed limit (55 mi/h, 89 km/h for most of its run), much traffic, many traffic lights, and stores lining its entire length. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate to the speed traffic is travelling (usually over 65 mi/h, 105 km/h), within the space of a few white-knuckle seconds. Similarly, driving along Route 22 is a game of avoiding the drivers pulling out onto the highway. Termini As of 2004, the highway's eastern terminus is in Newark, New Jersey at an intersection with US 1 and US 9. Its western terminus is in Cincinnati, Ohio at an intersection with US 27, US 42, US 127, and US 52. States Traversed The highway passes through the following states: Related US Routes Sources 022 22
