View northbound at the southern terminus of CR 503 at Route 120 in East Rutherford
While signage directing traffic to CR 503 exists on westbound Route 3, CR 503 officially begins at Route 120. Traffic following Route 120 around the Meadowlands Sports Complex exits (or enters) in East Rutherford, while CR 503 traffic continues straight ahead into Carlstadt. Through the industrial area of the borough of Carlstadt, the four-lane highway, divided in some sections, is called Washington Avenue.
Near the Steuben House in River Edge, CR 503 turns left onto Main Street and crosses the Pascack Valley Line at grade before turning northward onto Kinderkamack Road. Kinderkamack Road itself begins just south of the interchange with CR 503 and Main Street, at Johnson Avenue. CR 503 then continues north through Oradell, Emerson, Westwood, Hillsdale, Woodcliff Lake, Park Ridge, and Montvale. Most of this ten-mile (16 km) stretch is two-lane road with some dividers and margins while running through the suburbs. In Emerson, a divider is present while crossing the Pascack Valley Line in between Ackerman Avenue and Linwood Avenue. In Westwood, it comes to an interchange with CR 502 at Old Hook Road. The northbound and southbound alignments split briefly in Montvale, where the highway again crosses the Pascack Valley Line one more time at Grand Avenue (CR 2).
At the New York state line, Kinderkamack Road becomes four-lane Pearl Street and NY 304 in the village of Pearl River, becoming a limited access freeway shortly after.
