Other major roads that are accessible outside the municipality include [[U.S. Route 1 in New Jersey|U.S. Route 1]] (in Lawrence Township, West Windsor and South Brunswick), [[Interstate 287]] (in Franklin Township), [[Interstate 295 (Delaware–Pennsylvania)|Interstate 295]] (in Lawrence Township), and the [[New Jersey Turnpike]]/[[Interstate 95 in New Jersey|Interstate 95]] (in South Brunswick). The closest Turnpike exits are Interchange 8A in [[Monroe Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey|Monroe Township]], Interchange 8 in [[East Windsor, New Jersey|East Windsor]], and Interchange 7A in [[Robbinsville Township, New Jersey|Robbinsville Township]].

A number of proposed highways around Princeton have been canceled. The [[Somerset Freeway]] (I-95) was to pass just outside the municipality before ending in Hopewell (to the south) and Franklin (to the north). This project was canceled in 1980. [[New Jersey Route 92|Route 92]] was supposed to remedy the lack of limited-access highways to the greater Princeton area. The road would have started at Route 1 near Ridge Road in South Brunswick and ended at Exit 8A of the Turnpike. However, that project was cancelled in 2006.
