Anyone know what's going on with NOLA traffic the last couple weeks?

shite is getting to baton rouge levels.

Ever since the beginning of November traffic around 5 has been insane going in and out of the cbd.

Anyone know why? Any road closures along other major routes? Is there construction happening on the CCC?

Roads suck and are being closed without repair.
Bussed in protesters aren't helping.
New Orleans sucks.

Is this the second thread you started saying "it's getting Baton Rouge levels"?

Don't think so but I could be wrong.

Try electing republicans instead of the trash politicians y'all continue to vote for.

It's because of the time change probably...everybody seems to leave work on time to beat the darkness, and then once it's dark people can't drive for shite.

That was my SO's theory. Just seems crazy that traffic can be relatively constant for months and then all of a sudden I'm averaging an additional 20 or 25 minutes in my commute.


ETA: first time I noticed it was the Thursday before the Bama game. I figured that perhaps a lot of people from out of town were coming in to hang out in nola on Friday before heading to BR on Saturday. It hasn't let up since.

New Obama Law. Instead of salary people are forced to go hourly and thus they all have to clock out and leave.

Thanks Obama.

It is exactly that, coupled with Pelicans games. It takes a couple of months to smooth out.

Construction and the most retarded light sequencing on the face of the planet.

I attributed it to time change too, but I've been having to drive from Metairie to Uptown area at 6:30 (well past dark) and the interstate has been a parking lot.
The I10/Hwy90 stuff always sucks, but never this badly

Last week from Thursday till Tuesday, there was a jewelry show at the convention center that cops blocked off main streets for some ungodly reason in the Warehouse District. Other than that extra 20+ minutes to my drive home it just seems to be regular around this time.
