How many cars are registered in Connecticut?

Does Connecticut have a lot of cars? I’m really nervous about driving through the state on a road trip this summer because one of my friends told me that the traffic there is really bad.

According to the 2020 census, there are 1,211,171 cars
registered
in
Connecticut
. However, the concentration of cars will be different depending on which road you’re on and your proximity to the nearest city.
There are a few things you can do to make driving through Connecticut a little easier and to avoid the worst traffic:
  • Don’t drive during rush hour. You’ll see a lot more traffic when driving from 6:00–9:00 AM and 4:00–7:00 PM due to people commuting to and from work.
  • Stick to smaller roads. Big highways and interstates will typically see a lot more traffic than smaller roads, so avoiding large highways is a good way to steer clear of traffic jams.
  • Watch out for construction. Research the area you’ll be driving in before you leave so you can avoid big construction zones, where traffic may bottleneck.
If you’re going on a road trip, it’s also really important to have a good car insurance policy covering your vehicle. The
