NEW JERSEY

New state flag


Region: Northeast

Emblem: Interstate highway shield; upper-case "NJ".
New Jersey features the highest concentration of highways and rail lines in the union. It is also famous for its heavily-trafficked turnpike.

Field: Two crossed bars.
The bars represent both the aforementioned transportation connections in the state and one of the state nicknames: "crossroads of the Revolution". New Jersey earned the nickname by being the site of much of the fighting during the American Revolution.
