Jefferson to 10 on Essen sucks though


Yeah, I know, which should tell you how much I hate that ramp.

It didn't bother me until a few years ago, when I had a problem with the steering in my mommy-van where it was really loose. I felt like I could've flown off that bridge, and I've been nervous driving over it since, even in other vehicles.

Acadian on ramp to I10 west heading towards bridge is 25 ft long...
When you're trying to merge and car is in right lane you can fricked up real quick.

Don't find any that particular dangerous. Many cities have many many way worse.

Boston comes to mind for some reason.

Especially in the morning with all the students getting off at Daltymple. I usually see a wreck or 2 a week be there and the lake

Dalrymple and 10 is worse IMO, because it's just as short where it meets the interstate but the ramp itself is even shorter so you don't have as much room to get up to speed.

It's in west baton rouge and it's an off ramp but I'm counting it.

Getting off the new bridge to go South on LA1 is dangerous. DOTD has tried several configurations and they are all bad. So I'm going with I10 / LA1 South.

I love that ramp. In college I worked right where the 12 on ramp is at Essen (wasn't there then) and lived in some condos by Baskin Robbins (nice back then) and I would avoid Essen by taking the ramp. But I never had a bad experience lol

The "short" entry ramp at 10 and South Acadian. If a car is in that lane when you get to the top, there's almost no way to avoid a collision.

This.

Perkins merging onto 10 west basically throws you into the right hand land with no ease of access or shoulder. I don't know how there isn't an accident there daily.
