The 34.17 mile (55.0 km) long Interstate 195 begins at Route 34 in Wall Township and ends at I-295 just south of Trenton, New Jersey. It is also known as the Central Jersey Expressway. Much of the traffic on the highway is due to its proximity to Six Flags Great Adventure amusement park. (I-195 does not end at the Garden State Parkway, but stops about 1/3 mile (1/2 km) short of it, due it being built to connect with Route 38 (now Route 138), which ended at Route 34.) Route 138 continues east to Belmar, New Jersey.

When it was built, it did not intersect its nominal parent at all, but was in fact a tertiary interstate. When I-95 was re-routed to the New Jersey Turnpike in 1980 as a result of the Somerset Freeway not being built, the Turnpike became I-195's proverbial parent; there is an intersection between I-195 and the Turnpike.
