There are a few concrete bridge heads which showed that the section of CR 524 between the White Horse Circle and Allentown was in the 1930s part of State Highway Route 37.
CR 524 passes homes before reaching an interchange with Interstate 195 (I-195), where the route is a four-lane divided highway maintained by the New Jersey Department of Transportation with a wide median.
From this point, the road continues through a mix of residences and woodland before passing over the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95).
[1][2] CR 524 continues into Upper Freehold Township in Monmouth County and runs through wooded areas of residences before crossing into Allentown.
The route intersects CR 28 and turns northeast onto Main Street, passing more homes.
The road leaves Allentown for Upper Freehold Township and enters farmland as it intersects CR 526 Spur.
At this point, the name of the road becomes Stage Coach Road and it forms the border between Robbinsville Township, Mercer County to the west and Upper Freehold Township, Monmouth County to the east briefly before CR 524 splits from CR 539 by turning east and fully entering Upper Freehold Township, retaining the Stage Coach Road name.
The road heads into a mix of farms, woods, and residences as it enters Millstone Township and comes to a junction with CR 571.
The road makes a turn to the south and crosses back into Howell Township, intersecting CR 18.
The two routes continues south through wooded areas of homes and businesses on Lakewood-Farmingdale Road before the CR 524A intersects from the west.
Concrete bridge heads confirm this, and USGS topographical maps indicate that the road was signed as such until at least 1948.
It heads southeast for about a one-half mile (0.80 km) before reaching a skewed intersection with Allenwood-Lakewood Road (CR 21) and Ramshorn Drive.
After a slight curve at Tiltons Corner Road, CR 524 Spur continues east past numerous businesses and an apartment complex.
