Most Common Out-Of-State License Plates In Your Area That DON'T Border Your Stat

In Ohio along 75, a toss up between Tennessee and Ontario

In Texas, the most I see is New York, New Jersey, and California.  Of course, I am in the melting pot of Austin.

[I-55]

From what I've seen in my part of Indiana it seems most cars are either from Jersey or Pennsylvania (since Ohio isn't allowed). Most trucks are either Tennessee or Ontario

I've been seeing waaaay too many plates from California, New York and Texas here in the Appleton, WI area lately.

Got to be Florida.

You must be in the eastern half of the state near I-70 or the Toll Road. On I-70 west of Indy or I-64 it's Missouri, on I-65 south of Indy it's Tennessee, and in the NW part of the state it's Wisconsin.

Northeast Indiana close to the ITR. I agree with you, there are a lot more states I see frequently around Indiana. We definitely ain't the Crossroads of America for nothing

Back home in Connecticut, Florida is an easy winner, due to the high number of snowbirds.

Where I live in Missouri, it's Texas (Colorado a distant second), but that's just because Columbia is a college town and Mizzou has a big contingent from DFW. Outside of there, I'm not sure; Missouri borders a lot of states, and besides the interstates, Missouri doesn't get a ton of in-and-out traffic. I've seen a handful of plates from New York and a couple from Connecticut.

Here in Texas, I'd actually say Missouri, but I've only seen a few in 5 months. In terms of states that border, I haven't seen any Oklahoma or Arkansas plates, a few Louisiana plates, and surprisingly, a couple New Mexico's. There's not much out of state traffic 'round these parts.

There has gotten to be tons of out of state traffic around these parts.  Which is weird because the U of A isn't starting classes for another few weeks.  There's always a lot of TX folks here for the U of A, but that's a border state and doesn't count.  Recently, I've seen lots of vehicles from the following states that I've not seen much of in the past:

CA
WA
FL
IL
NY

Basically, the states that used to wouldn't give us the time of day, but we seem to be a destination all of the sudden.

In my neck of the woods, Southern Indiana, it's mainly Kentucky plates, with maybe some Ohio plates.

Most Oklahoma traffic in Texas is bound for DFW, so I wouldn't expect to see much south of that. Oklahomans don't have much reason to go to Austin, San Antonio or Houston very often. The only reason I can think an Oklahoman would go to Houston is if they're doing business in the oil industry, and in that case I think they'd fly.

Ohio and Kentucky border Indiana.  See OP.

My CA plates would have been one of them if it weren't for COVID 19. I had planned to visit my brothers in Green Bay this summer to escape the desert heat. My visit is now for next summer assuming there's a vaccine by then.

My trailer park alone has a fair number of folk originally from the Upper Midwest and a lot of older PS residents head back to WI/MN/MI for the summer to visit family.

In my area of northeast Louisiana, California for sure. I also see a surprising amount of Illinois and Virginia, and Mexican states are also not uncommon here.

Which area? I'm in Monroe and I hardly ever see Cali plates.

Edit: I don't think I've seen any of those plates that you've mentioned.

Kentucky and Tennessee in my part of Michigan.  I've seen a couple of NY and NJ plates here and there.

I would say for Illinois, it's Michigan and then Minnesota the closer you are to Chicago.

Hasn't it been established for purposes of this thread that despite not having a land border or a direct highway connection, Illinois and Michigan do in fact border?

In STL it's mostly Florida. Didn't know Columbia had such a strong Texas presence. Would explain why AA's COU-DFW flights are the most popular out of that airport (besides connections).

In Texas: California

I know Right I am a California Resident (Don't have the money to move out anyway) and I hear stuff on the News here in California and their sample person of an ex-California resident is somebody from the Los Angeles area moving to Houston or Dallas area or a Person from San Jose, San Francisco, Berkeley, Davis, Oakland and Sacramento moving to the Austin or San Antonio Area for Job Reasons.


I swore as a child back in the 1990's my sample of NorCal (San Francisco, Sacramento and Solano County) Residents at the time talked about retiring in Hawaii or moving out of the USA but I never knew how true that later became 30 years later though.

I think I missed that.

I probably fit the bill right now. I'm driving around Michigan currently with a Nevada plate. I've also driven around Michigan with a Minnesota plate in the past but Michigan and Minnesota border each other.

[Gnutella]

In north Georgia, I see a lot of Mississippi, Texas, Virginia and Louisiana plates.

In western Pennsylvania, I see a lot of Virginia, Michigan, Illinois and Connecticut plates.

[MASTERNC]

In southeastern PA, I'd say I see a good number of New York plates (including NYC T&LC plates).
