Siegen is an absolute disaster. Terrible example
It's used by the same shitty drivers
A little common sense would go along way to fixing the issues with traffic around here.
On a less related note, I spent last week in DC. And for everyone that thinks hsitty traffic is somehow isolated to NOLA and BR, yall should try travelling. The traffic in MAryland made me want to blow my brains out, and a friend showing me around said it was normal.

I drive around this town all day long in each and every corner. I have zero trouble figuring out how to do it without having problems.
People are dumbasses.

The way people drive inner city in DC blew my mind. I felt unsafe walking in certain areas. It's nothing for them to whip around a roundabout going 50.

Look at the recent improvements that they did to Florida Blvd. Most of the intersections that required crossing 5 lanes with no signal control were terminated with a new median. The previous poster was absolutely correct in stating that crossing that many lanes at once without signal control is simply not safe. Just because it has been allowed in the past does not mean that it is correct.

The single digit IQ's don't help either. Can't fix stupid, and it's dammed hard to design around it. I truly believe there are many parallels between Louisiana's educational level and traffic woes. Add the poor design of most of Baton Rouge's infrastructure and more per capita 18 wheelers than anywhere else in the country and it's a recipe for traffic disaster. At least it keeps a boatload of shysters and their ad agencies employed.
