Driving from Newport: What to Know

Newport sits in Rhode Island, in New England, and most trips out of town start on the local highway network before joining the interstate system. Fill up before you leave — fuel is usually cheaper in town than at highway service plazas — and check conditions before longer drives, since weather in New England can change travel times considerably.
