**Traveling to Princeton**

# By Car

From the New Jersey Turnpike heading South, take Exit 9 (New Brunswick)
and follow signs for Trenton (Route 18 north, then Route 1 south). For
first-timers, navigating to Route 1 south from this exit can be
hair-raising. Take the first right after toll booths, up ramp and onto
to 18 north.

Immediately, shift to lane second from left and, less than half a mile
from entry point, exit left (you\'ll be heading over a Route 1
overpass). Stay in right lane \-- the exit to Route 1 south is on your
right just beyond the overpass. From the New Jersey Turnpike heading
north, take Exit 8 (Hightstown), and follow signs for Hightstown and
then Princeton. From Interstate 95 heading north from DC/Philadelphia,
exit at either Route 206 north or Route 1 north. Following Route 206
north, pass through Lawrenceville to Princeton, or, following Route 1
north, exit at Alexander Road and follow signs for Princeton.
