NEWARK, NJ A pair of the 10 most dangerous roads in New Jersey pass through Newark, a report says.
AdvisorSmith, a small business research website, has released a list of what it calls the most dangerous roads in New Jersey. Researchers examined the total number of crash fatalities for interstate highways, national highways and state roads from 2016 to 2019, taking the length of the roadways into account.
The study used data published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration s Fatality Analysis Reporting System. Learn more about its methodology and see the full ranking here.

There’s a line in an old song that says “don’t go chasing waterfalls.” That’s bad advice to take literally, especially in the New Jersey Highlands. What most people don’t realize is that the Garden State actually offers a variety of swift streams, running rapids and crisp cascades as natural treasures to seek out.
As the weather begins to warm, here are 12 Garden State waterfalls that should be on every New Jerseyan’s to-see list. Don’t forget that these waterfalls get a boost after rain, so keep an eye on the sky when planning visits.

New Jersey Highlands
Last month, preservation efforts in the Highlands region of the state got a multimillion-dollar boost from the Open Space Institute, a national nonprofit that works to protect land throughout the Appalachian range.
The initiative, called the Appalachian Landscapes Protection Fund, aims to raise up to $18 million to conserve 50,000 acres of forest throughout the Appalachian range. Unlike traditional open-space acquisition initiatives, in which the priority is simply to preserve land, this fund will focus on state and local communities, land trusts, and Native American tribes that will “align their conservation goals around climate priorities.”
