New Jersey plants a lot of Forsythia bushes around, especially within the
median of the highway as well as near overpasses.  Cheap and since the
branches tend to re-root themselves, they expand even further.

On Rt. 55, for about a 2 mile area just above Exit 27 (Rt. 47), signs in the
median say 'New Jersey's Beautiful - Naturally'.  This refers to the tall
weeping grass that grows within the median for this stretch.  I wonder
though if it was just an excuse not to cut the grass in this area :-).
