Route 22 runs through central New Jersey, where it has a high speed limit (55 mi/h, 89 km/h for most of its run), much traffic, many traffic lights, and stores lining its entire length.

Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate to the speed traffic is travelling (usually over 65 mi/h, 105 km/h), within the space of a few white-knuckle seconds.
