Go try to drive somewhere right now and you will feel me

i guess you are familiar with what a ban bet is.

You need to zoom in some to get a better idea of what you're looking at. Those red lines representing heavy congestion are likely several miles long. Probably no better or worse than BR right now.

It's ridiculous. How do you design a city of 400K with only one artery that travels east and west and none that travel north and south?

That doesn't touch on BR's answer to every intersection being a fricking traffic light so that even when there is little traffic, you can't go 100 feet without stopping.

no. that's pretty much a 3 mile stretch of i24 where there is construction and you have about 40 zillion other options to move around the city if you don't want the extra 3 minute delay.

try again.

You answered your own question. It wasn't designed as a city of 400,000. When I first visited Baton Rouge in the early 60s it was a sleepy little town of 100,000 people. The city limits ended at Foster Drive on the east and the new Mississippi River bridge didn't exist. Acadian Thruway was designed to be the loop on the outskirts of the city.
