The previous designations of US 202 northeast of West Haverstraw should probably be covered here. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 02:33, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I don't think there were any pre-1930 designations along modern US 202. It mostly overlapped existing routes and the non-overlapped portions were unnumbered. --Polaron | Talk 02:51, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Eh, that's true. In any case, the changes in overlaps (NY 100 north of Croton Falls, NY 116 between Peekskill and Amawalk [according to the NYT and the 1935 rmcn, this section was 116 before it came 35], etc.) should be noted. --TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 02:59, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

More references

An anonymous IP tagged the route description as needing more references. I wish I knew what that user had in mind. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 12:42, 2 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Maybe because there is only one footnote in the entire section, and that reference has nothing directly to do with the highway itself? Imzadi 1979  15:42, 2 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Re-examining last sentence in the intro

edit

The last sentence of the opening paragraph states that US 202 is the only route from NJ to CT without passing through the city. However, Interstate 84 in New York and U.S. Route 6 in New York, while not entering the jurisdiction of New Jersey, both reach very, very close to the border near the tristate monument, and in I-84’s case, it is literally inches away from NJ. US 6 might be too far from NJ, but I-84 has an exit that connects directly to the northern terminus of New Jersey Route 23, providing access from an I-84 ramp, giving another way between NJ and CT. I don’t know if that counts as a second road, but it should add something to the end of that sentence, something like “… (although other roads through NY come very close to NJ)”.
