to anyone who had similar curiosity, maryland is the fifth most densely populated state, and to my surprise is 2500 square miles larger than new jersey

Did you think it was more the 2500 miles?

i thought of new jersey as bigger for some odd reason, maybe cause MD is shaped like it was jerrymandered. Once I thought of driving through the states i realized MD seems endless and NJ is sort of a breeze, unless you get stuck in traffic....not impossible.

I never realized just how small NJ was until I moved away, but if you drive the nj turnpike top to bottom it seems like it takes 5 hours

not my experience, i don't know if its the gotham city scenery, or the fact that i like going to NYC but it never drags. CT and MD always seem to drag.

CT highways are constantly under construction during the prime times when people would like to drive through

Used to drive up 95 to NJ from Virginia /NC pretty often and the long stretch in Delaware and NJ turnpike from the start of the turnpike to the Newark airport area dragged every time , you have like 20 miles in between exits when you first get on , you reach NJ and think it’s almost over but no 2 more hrs on the turnpike with State  troopers and 18 wheelers everywhere

the stretch from Richmond to Philly is pretty much a haze of traffic anxiety. IDK why and it seems silly but i normally feel home free once i get to jersey. As far as 18 wheelers go, I was on i81 a lot and holy hell it feels like its exclusively 18 wheelers blocking traffic. 

Made me realize the worst road is a 4 lane road. i95 is generally wider so you can get around idiots, there are only so many mistakes someone can make on a 2 lane road, but 4 lane roads always have some.....tard going 40 in left lane while you get killed killed by a tard on meth doing 200 in the right lane.
