Connecticut is a state in the United States.

Hitchhiking along I-95 is not difficult as Connecticut maintains a very nice system of rest stops and service plazas across the state; it's also possible to exit-hop. Walk onto one and put your thumb out and you shouldn't have to wait long for a ride. In addition, several New York-Boston bus lines (Chinatown to Chinatown, 15 US$) make stops at the Fairfield service plaza (exit 21), and it is possible to talk your way on for free or a reduced price if you're a good negotiator.

Watch out for mosquitos and black flies in the north east, the mosquitos can be ravenous.

People are very friendly in Connecticut for the most part.

Law

Sec. 53-181. Soliciting rides in motor vehicles. Any person who, while on or within the limits of the traveled portion of any public highway, solicits a ride in a motor vehicle, other than a public service motor bus or taxicab, except in case of accident or emergency, shall be deemed to have committed an infraction and be fined thirty-five dollars, except that any person may, while on or within the shoulder portion of any public highway, except a limited access highway, solicit such a ride.

Experiences

I was extremely impressed with Connecticut while hitchhiking through. I wasn't here long enough to make a definite determination, but along with Rhode Island, this was the easiest place I have ever hitchhiked. I rarely waited longer than 2 or 3 minutes for rides!Thewindandrain (talk) 00:20, 16 November 2013 (CET)
