State of Connecticut Driving Regulations

Connecticut Department of Transportation

Travelers through Connecticut and within Connecticut who wish to use the restricted Merritt Parkway need to understand the rules of this historic road - including height restrictions considering the older bridges!

Documents are also available from the department (with a reproduction fee) that will provide background on the agency's perspectives on preserving the unique character of the parkway:
