>Exit/entry highway ramps are multi laned or have wide shoulders so there’s plenty of room to merge or exit.

I'm keeping this here - chances are you'll delete it once you try to go from 393W to 93S or 93S to 393E (Concord). :D

I’m sure there are exceptions to the rule but this place is nothing compared to CT highways. Left exits all over the place, stop signs for merging, narrow lanes, aggressive drivers doing anything they can to get 1 car ahead. The list goes on and on lol

Your cars must be small and inexpensive. Get a new, heavy vehicle and you'll be seeing registration fees of several hundred dollars. The municipal portion is based on list price with some depreciation for the first several years and the state portion on weight.

I've driven through Hartford many times, yes, it's chaotic.

& Yes, on/off ramps in most of the places are pretty good, the 93S / 939 interchange is probably the worst one in the state, and the 101/93 interchange in Manchester can get confusing, too.

'Your cars must be small and inexpensive.'

Seconding this. We have a Subaru Outback that's four years old and paid $250 this year.

Allow me to introduce you to Route 16 on ramp at Dover heading north.

Nowhere on 16 is even remotely comparable to the shitty cramped highways in CT.

The confusing part is what makes it fun ; )

I particularly love how two onramp lanes from 101west to 93 north merge into one lane. Same thing 93South to 101East.

8w? That one can get sporty when its crowded.

CT has on ramps with stop signs at the end.

I live in CT with a 5 year old outback and paid more than that. Been looking to move to NH but started a business in CT that kind of needs me, so I spend weekends and summers in NH for the past 10 years. Still not enough to claim residency but that's why I'm here!

Thank you for appreciating what most of us love. Welcome.

We have casinos?

Seriously lmao, bought a 22 Altima and my reg was 500-600 bucks

There's one in Concord at the very least, and there's that poker place next to Dover bowl.

There's one in Keene.

The Merritt Parkway is literally the highway to hell

OK, I guess I am thinking more about resort style casinos and not poker and bingo type places.

$125 for car registration!? Omg mine was at least $400. Don't get a new car.

Mine was $1600 between two vehicles. In Florida where I moved from it was like $150

Welcome to New Hampshire! Moved here from CT in ‘86 and never looked back!

I moved from NYC with city and state income tax to NH with neither. My on paper pay cut ended up being a function 20% raise.

Last time I was in Keene there were dozens of people walking around in wizard robes.

You must have old and light duty vehicles. One of my equipment trailers is over 300 a year and that’s just a trailer.

That could be their town motto.

And then you paid your property tax.

I hate that they've moved into NH.

Those must be some expensive cars.

78k and 52k, nothing too crazy

For todays car prices that seems average! Luckily the last time I purchased a car was 2017 when paying under MSRP was normal 😖. My wife’s car is 12 years old so she pays about $100 per year lol.

nashua has at least 3

Literally the highest property tax rate in NH (Claremont) is 40.

The city in CT that I live in now (from NH originally) is 43.8.

It's really not that bad, though with the housing market in NH being what it is, folks are potentially overpaying in that regard (when valuations catch up).

Nice. Now make sure you don’t turn it into Connecticut! 😃

Da faq?!?

Sporty is a fun word. That camera has watched me do 80 to keep up with traffic at that corner. Sheesh.

Yeah, I challenge you to take the Dover on ramps and use the off ramps. If you're not in the left hand lane driving past them, you're wrong.

Merritt Parkway entrance ramps at some exits have a stop sign and it's a 2-lane parkway.

same for my forester. was 400 just the year before.

I moved here to escape deep blue states, so I don’t have many complaints at all… but something I noticed IMMEDIATELY… NH folk like to ride the merge lanes all the way out.

C’mon folks it’s a MERGE lane. You get in to get over. Don’t ride it.

yes for sure.

I’ll say it. Connecticut drivers are worse than Massachusetts drivers.

To be fair any place will seem like paradise after you’ve lived in Connecticut for a little while

And?

[deleted]

And everyone but you seems to think suck. Weird hill to die on.

NH has nothing on NY property taxes too…

That’s the point of a merge lane, masshole.

Lol. Not quite. And not from Mass. but thanks for playing!

> NH folk like to ride the merge lanes all the way out.

This is actually the most effective way to merge. Zipper merges work well when people actually use them as a zipper merge.

I know of this one I see it off the road sometimes https://www.lakesregioncasino.com/

It's not like an Indian casino where you win cash/tokens/vouchers but I'm not sure what the difference is. It says it's a charitable gaming facility so maybe you just play/win like 75c on the dollar and the rest goes to charity.

I register a new company car every year and it’s usually $800-1200.

I didn’t think it even went as low as $125.
