Visitor & Driver Tips
When planning your trip, consider that peak traffic along Route 3 and the I-95 on-ramps typically occurs between 7:30 AM – 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM on weekdays. During winter months, allow extra stopping distance as open surface asphalt can develop black ice during freezing conditions. Ensure your vehicle is securely locked with all valuables placed out of sight in the trunk or glove compartment. If you are meeting carpool partners, arrange an agreed-upon section of the lot to expedite departures and streamline morning rendezvous.
