Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Connecticut
- Seasonal conditions
The governor has imposed tractor-trailer travel bans on interstates ahead of major winter storms, including in January 2022, March 2023 and February 2024, and the scope has varied from all tractor-trailers to tandem and empty units only.
Commercial trucks, all trailers and any vehicle over 8 feet tall, 24 feet long or 7 feet 6 inches wide are barred from the Merritt and Wilbur Cross parkways (Route 15) and the Milford Parkway, so freight uses the interstates instead.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
