Re: AC to Delaware

When I did this drive the other direction, I followed signs that told me (once I crossed the Delaware River Memorial Bridge) to take US-40 towards AC, cutting off most most of the NJ Turnpike and the AC Expressway. This took absolutely forever. According to Google Maps, this route is 13 miles shorter than the one you propose, but 23 minutes longer.
So, I recommend against this shortcut.

Yes, following Rt 40 goes through a lot of small towns mostly on a 1 lane each way road. Lots of lights. This route is good if you know the turnpike/295/ACE is backed up, like when everyone is leaving AC on Sunday. But only in that case should this way be taken.
There are about 11 Wawa's though on the way, so if you like wawa, there you go.

I avoid 40 at all costs. It takes longer than going up and around via 295, plus it eats more gas since it's stop and go traffic a lot of the way.
