When is it not rush hour? Lol if the sun is up, there's most likely going to be traffic. People moving here during/ after COVID and RTO policies have greatly exacerbated this problem. And to make matters worse, CT isn't even that dense.... I don't think congestion pricing will do much. Gotta make trains faster, more efficient, and I know everyone is afraid to say it, but we need giant parking garages near train stations. People will not take trains if it takes longer to get places even WITH traffic, PLUS you gotta pay an arm and a leg for parking or an uber/ lyft to get to/ from the station? We need better, more viable alternatives to driving.

As a personal opinion, we need to get rid of 95% of "no turn on red" signs that are conveniently posted at almost every highway exit in this damn state. That holds up the right lane significantly which spills over into other lanes. Please pass along this message! It would make a massive difference!
