Overview

Jericho Turnpike — New York State Route 25 — is one of Long Island’s oldest and most historically significant roads, following a corridor that has served as the island’s main east-west artery since colonial times. Running approximately 65 miles from the Nassau/Queens border at Floral Park to downtown Riverhead in eastern Suffolk County, Route 25 passes through the commercial hearts of Nassau County’s central communities before traversing the rural landscapes of the East End.

The road’s origins trace to Native American trails that early European settlers adopted in the 17th century. By the early 19th century it had been formalized as a turnpike — a privately operated toll road — taking its name from the Quaker settlement of Jericho, which was an important landmark on the route. After the turnpike era the road became a public highway and was eventually designated NY-25 in the state’s route numbering system.

Today Jericho Turnpike is a classic Long Island arterial: a predominantly at-grade road lined with commercial development, serving as Main Street for a succession of communities from the Nassau western suburbs through the Suffolk North Shore. In Nassau County, the corridor is densely developed with retail, restaurants, and commercial uses generating high pedestrian and vehicular turning movements. The Hicksville and Westbury sections are particularly dense, with traffic signal spacings of only a few hundred feet in places.

In Suffolk County the character changes notably as the road enters Huntington and transitions through the more historic streetscapes of Cold Spring Harbor, Centerport, Northport (via side routes), and ultimately the rural North Fork communities approaching Riverhead. By the time the road reaches the eastern stretches east of Smithtown, it serves primarily local traffic and provides access to the North Fork wine country.

Dangerous Sections

Westbury commercial corridor (Nassau County): The section of Jericho Turnpike through Westbury features some of the densest driveway and intersection conflicts on the route. Multiple studies have identified this segment as having elevated pedestrian crash rates due to the high volume of commercial activity and inadequate pedestrian infrastructure.

Hicksville (Nassau County): The Route 25/Broadway/Newbridge Road intersection complex in Hicksville is one of the most complex intersections in Nassau County, handling traffic from multiple major roads. Left-turn crashes are the dominant crash type.

Route 110 junction (Melville, Suffolk County): The crossing of Jericho Turnpike and Route 110 in Melville handles significant commercial traffic heading to and from the Hauppauge Industrial Park. This four-way intersection sees high volumes and frequent rear-end crashes during peak hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many accidents happen on Jericho Turnpike each year?

Jericho Turnpike (NY-25) records approximately 1,800–2,500 crashes annually across its 65-mile length. As an at-grade arterial with hundreds of signalized and unsignalized intersections, driveway cuts, and pedestrian crossings, it has one of the highest crash rates per mile of any Long Island road. The Nassau County western sections (Floral Park through Hicksville) have the highest crash density.

What are the most dangerous intersections on Jericho Turnpike?

The most dangerous intersections on Jericho Turnpike include the junction with Route 106/107 (Old Country Road) in Westbury, the intersection with Broadway in Hicksville, and the crossing with Route 110 (Broad Hollow Road) in Melville. Left-turn crashes at unsignalized driveways are the most common crash type throughout the corridor.

Is Jericho Turnpike the same as Route 25?

Yes. Jericho Turnpike is the common name for New York State Route 25 throughout Nassau and western Suffolk County. The road transitions into 'Main Street' as it passes through downtown Riverhead at its eastern end. In Queens, the continuation is known as Hillside Avenue before Route 25 designation begins at the Nassau border in Floral Park.

Why is it called Jericho Turnpike?

The road follows one of Long Island's oldest colonial-era land routes. The name 'Jericho Turnpike' reflects the 18th and 19th century practice of naming major roads after their destination — Jericho being the Quaker community in Nassau County that was a significant landmark. The road was formalized as a turnpike (a toll road) in the early 19th century before becoming a public highway.

Does Jericho Turnpike go all the way to Riverhead?

Yes. Route 25 (Jericho Turnpike) runs the full length of Nassau and Suffolk County, ending in Riverhead where it becomes Main Street through the downtown. The full drive from Floral Park to Riverhead covers approximately 65 miles and — with traffic signals and congestion throughout — can take 2–3 hours during peak periods.
