Oh sure, no argument. The Merritt/Wilbur Cross Parkways were built to be pleasant to drive. And they have a retro feel that I appreciate. I-84 is simply impressive in its bad design.
One problem with the Merritt, though: when it clogs, that's it. I've been stuck in a miles-long tailback on an entirely stopped southbound CT 15 in the middle of the night. They tend to like to schedule road-closing construction work after midnight, which is really the only time they can get away with it.
I really would have appreciated Waze if it existed when I still lived in Connecticut.
