Yes, as far as the Prairieville-based journey goes, today was by far the worst 1-2 punch of AM + PM gridlock in memory. Going to leave a half hour earlier tomorrow. On both ends of the day. Hope it helps.

I think one major fix needed in the AM is to lengthen the left turn cycle for folks turning left onto Highland towards the interstate. I don't even go that route, but the backlog from that choke point ripples back all the way to the Parish line @ Bayou Manchac by peak rush hour.

That, and tweaks are needed to the AM light cycles for BR-bound Airline traffic between Hwy 42 and Perkins in the heart of Prairieville.

Glad if I get called to work, I'm going toward New Orleans! Haven't been out the house yet today..I think for new going to Livonia from Gonzales, I might be better off talking the sunshine bridge next time..and that's the long way around

Lot of schools are in. My commute this morning was not bad at all. Much less congested than yesterday.


Then again i don't have to use the interstate.

I think there should be a single lane for prarieville people. One that they have to stay in for 1 mile. In the current scenario, they all feel that they HAVE to get in the passing lane immediately when they aren't even going 60mph yet. Causes the brake checks all the way to Gonzales.
