The Merritt Parkway is a historic limited-access parkway in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The parkway is known for its scenic layout, its uniquely styled signage, and the architecturally elaborate overpasses along the route. It is designated as a National Scenic Byway and is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places.[3] Signed as part of Route 15, it runs from the New York state line in Greenwich, where it serves as the continuation of the Hutchinson River Parkway, to the Housatonic River in Stratford, where the Wilbur Cross Parkway begins. On May 19, 2010, the parkway was named one of America's Most Endangered Historic Places.[4] The parkway was named for U.S. Congressman Schuyler Merritt.

The Parkway is one of a handful of United States highways listed in the National Register of Historic Places. It is acknowledged for the beauty of the forest that it passes through, as well as the architectural design of its overpasses; at the time of its construction, each bridge was decorated in a unique fashion so that no two bridges on the parkway looked alike.[5] However, newer overpasses used by intersecting expressways did not maintain this tradition, and as a result the highway is now spanned by several ordinary modern bridges constructed using undecorated concrete on steel I-beams.
The Parkway has two lanes in each direction. Due to its age, it was originally constructed without the merge-lanes, long on-ramps, and long off-ramps that are found on modern limited-access highways. Some entrances have perilously short and/or sharp ramps; some entrances even have stop signs, with no merge lane whatsoever; this leads to some dangerous entrances onto the highway. Most have since been modernized, with the interchange of Route 111 in Trumbull featuring Connecticut's first single point urban interchange (SPUI). The speed limit on the parkway ranges from 45 to 55 mph (70 to 90 km/h). A section between Westport and Fairfield is a stretch, roughly five and a half miles long without a single exit, referred to by local traffic reports as "The No Exit Zone"[6] or "No Man's Land".[7]
Vehicles over 2.5 meters (eight feet) in height, weighing more than 3,650 kilograms (four tons), towing a trailer, or containing more than four wheels are not allowed on the parkway. (Under extenuating circumstances, however, ConnDOT may issue permits for oversize vehicles to use the Parkway.[1])
History[edit]

The Merritt Parkway is one of the oldest parkways in the United States. The portion from Greenwich to Norwalk was opened on June 29, 1938. The section from Norwalk to Trumbull was completed in November 1939 and in 1940 was finished to the Housatonic River in Stratford. The parkway was named for U.S. Congressman Schuyler Merritt, who was instrumental in enacting legislation allowing the parkway to be built. The Merritt Parkway is the first leg of what would later become the modern Route 15. Built between 1934 and 1940, the Merritt runs for 37 miles (60 km) from the New York state line in Greenwich to the Housatonic River in Stratford. It was conceived as a way to alleviate congestion on the Boston Post Road (U.S. Route 1) in Fairfield County.
Six rest areas/service plazas featuring parking lots, Mobil gas stations, and convenience stores were also built along the Merritt so that drivers would not have to exit to refuel. These are located at either side of the parkway in Fairfield (near exit 46), New Canaan (near exit 37), and Greenwich (just beyond the CT-NY state line). The northbound-side plaza in Greenwich also houses a Connecticut welcome and tourism center. Since 2011, most of the ten service plazas along the combined length of the Merritt and the Wilbur Cross have been completely renovated to include more modern gas pumps, Alltown convenience stores, and the addition of a Dunkin' Donuts shop at each location; seven of the 9 renovated plazas also include a Subway shop. Prior to the renovations, no fast-food service had previously been available at the plazas. The pair of New Canaan plazas were the last to go under renovation; the southbound plaza reopened in May 2015 with the northbound plaza to reopen by June.
After the parkway fully opened in 1940, it was not uncommon for travelers to stop and picnic along the side of the road.[8] The Merritt Parkway Advisory Commission (later the Merritt Parkway Advisory Committee) decided upon banning horses and buggies, bicycles, pedestrians, billboards, and U-turns while a system of horse trails along the parkway were developed but were later abandoned.[9]
To ease objections from county residents who feared an influx of New Yorkers on their roads, in their towns, on their beaches and through their forests, highway planners called on engineers, landscape architects and architects to create a safe and aesthetically pleasing limited access highway – one with exit and entrance ramps, but no intersections – that would not spoil the countryside.
The bridges played a prominent role in the design. Architect George L. Dunkelberger designed them all. They reflected the popularity of the Art Deco style, with touches of neo-classical and modern design.[10][11][12] Some of these bridges were constructed by the Works Progress Administration.
Tolls were collected on the parkway at one toll plaza in Greenwich from June 21, 1939, until June 27, 1988. Two additional tolls were also located on the Wilbur Cross Parkway, in Milford and Wallingford. One of the parkway's former toll plazas is now preserved in Stratford's Boothe Memorial Park near Exit 53, complete with still-flashing lights over each toll lane.
In April 2001, a complete reissuance of the parkway's signs was carried out creating a uniform white-on-green and sawtooth border.
Safety of the parkway[edit]
One of the Merritt’s aesthetic features is also a potential danger to its drivers. Trees that line either side of the parkway, and often in the center median, grow branches that cover the roadway, and occasionally fall during severe weather, or with natural aging. Stretches of the parkway also lack guardrails on the right shoulders, creating a risk of tree impact accidents if cars veer off the pavement.
In 2007, after complaints were voiced about the danger of the trees along the parkway, state officials announced they would trim and eliminate some of them more aggressively. A large, seemingly healthy tree fell on a car near Exit 42 in Westport in June 2007, killing a couple from Pelham, New York. On June 23, 2011, a driver was killed in Stamford when a tree fell onto his car.[13]
A state study of fatalities on Connecticut highways showed that from 1985 to 1992, about ten people died every three years in tree-related accidents, although no other state roadway averaged more than one in three years.
The state Department of Transportation commonly sends out work crews twice a year to drive along both sides of the parkway at 5 mph (8 km/h) in search of decrepit trees. Trees that had been scheduled to be cut down in five or ten years would be removed sooner. Some more trees also would be removed, as the shoulder of the parkway is being widened to eight feet in order to give drivers room to pull over.[14]
Following the 2007 and 2011 incidents, the state became more aggressive in closing the parkway in times of severe weather. The parkway was closed during Tropical Storm Irene[15] and the Halloween nor'easter in 2011, and Hurricane Sandy in 2012. With each of those storms, many trees and limbs fell across the parkway. After Sandy, the state began a large effort to remove unhealthy trees, and in the process created much wider clearances between the roadside and forest.[13]
The parkway also has three sharp curves where speed limits are reduced to 45 miles per hour, two in Greenwich and one in Fairfield.
The state has a Merritt Parkway Advisory Committee that meets quarterly.[14]

The next step of my new layout. Experimenting with elevating the track to make sure that it will work. I hope that it is not too steep. I am going up 2 plates with every piece of track.

I've tamed the expanding foam scenery, with a craft knife, then applied wood glue, and covered the foam in a grass mat, bushes and the grass powder you can buy in model shops.
A white, plastic boat, from my local shop, looked to be about the right size to go on the layout.
On this layout, keeping everything in proportion, rather than scale, is the key to removing some of the toy like elements of these trains.
Meu primeiro layout.. tá um lixo, eu sei!
PS.: Eu fiz apenas pra teste, não vou usar em nenhum blog :) Comentem!

The unexpected organic shape of the storage system layout is the result of original
research into the expressive languages of extruded aluminium creating an innovatively
styled version of an item of furniture common in both the home and the office. Used
as a central island or as a room divider, this complex system can be adapted to serve any
purpose. Unconventional and decorative in shape, layout is practical and easy to use.
La sorprendente forma organica di layout, sistema di mobili contenitore, nasce
dall’originale ricerca sui linguaggi espressivi dell’estruso di alluminio e conferisce un
valore estetico innovativo a un arredo di uso comune in casa e ufficio. Isola a centro
stanza o quinta architettonica, questo progetto adatta la sua molteplice morfologia
ad ogni funzione. Un oggetto anticonvenzionale e decorativo nella forma, pratico
e razionale nell’uso.
This is the layout I'm going with I think. Random and fun. I was going to do the diamond looking one, but after I had it all laid out, I didn't really love it...I think I love this one. It will be 17 squares by 17 squares...so HUGE.
