County routes in New Jersey

County Route 507, abbreviated CR 507, is a county highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The highway extends 28.37 mi (45.66 km) from Harrison Avenue (CR 508) on the Kearny-Harrison town line to the New York state line in Mahwah. Between Ho-Ho-Kus and Mahwah, this highway is known as Franklin Turnpike. At its northern terminus, County Route 507 continues north into New York as Orange Avenue, which is a portion of U.S. Route 202.

County Route 507 begins at an intersection with County Route 508 (Harrison Street) in the community of Harrison, New Jersey. The highway progresses northward as Schuyler Street, weaving northward through downtown Harrison. A short distance later, Route 507 passes West Hudson Park and turns to the northeast, entering a mainly commercial district of Harrison. The route soon enters Kearny, the westernmost district in Hudson County and its Arlington district. There, Route 507 continues as Schuyler Avenue, intersecting with the Gunnel Oval, which leads to Kearny Playground. After an intersection with Midland Avenue, the highway crosses New Jersey Transit's former Boonton Line through Arlington, abandoned on September 20, 2002. After crossing the tracks, County Route 507 continues through a long residential stretch in Arlington, soon forking with the Arlington Memorial Park, a cemetery at Prospect Place in Kearny. County Route 507 parallels the cemetery, until the intersection with New Jersey Route 7 and County Route 506 (the Belleville Turnpike). Here, County Route 507 turns westward along Route 7 and Route 506 while Schuyler Avenue continues northward as Bergen County Route 11. Routes 7, 506 and 507 head west, crossing through a mix of residential homes and local businesses and soon intersecting with Ridge Road (New Jersey Route 17) at its southern terminus on the Kearny / North Arlington border. From there, the surroundings become vastly residential and at the intersection with Hudson County Route 699 (Passaic Avenue), Route 507 turns northward as River Road along the right-of-way and away from Routes 7 and 506.
