Anybody else think I-12 should be called I-10?

Nobody driving from Texas to Mississippi is going to stay on 10 the whole way (save me the NOLA crap). Then when you say "North of I-10" it really applies. Sorrento is north of I-10, what a crock of shite. The old I-10 can now be called 410 or 810.
If I-10 really is I-10 then why do you have to hit the exit lanes to "stay" on 10 westbound from the Mississippi state line?

No because it's not I10. It's a bypass for I10.

Yeah, but it’s all about linking population centers.

Fun fact: all East/West running Interstate Highways have an even number, and all North/South running ones have an odd number.
Have a great day!

Better yet, instead of 12 ending at 10 in BR, it should continue and run parallel to Hwy 190 all the way to I49 in Opelousas.

Everybody has a series of maps in their pocket. If they are too ignorant or arrogant to look at them, then maybe they deserve a few bullet holes in their car while on I-10 in N.O. east.

Not at this point, but yeah it probably should've been named the other way around.

I-10 should be renamed I-Nope.

I-12 should have a 3 digit bypass number associated with I-10, like, I-210, I-410, etc.

years ago a guy delivered an aquarium to my sisters house off Acadian. It was 3pm on a friday and I asked him where he was going. He said Navarre, Fl and he was dreading going through NOLA around 4-5 pm...I said why don't you take 12. He had no clue what 12 was. Seems impossible for a trucker/driver to not know

Back in the day when they were planning I-10 and I-12 there was discussion on routing I-10 across the northshore like I-12 is and then numbering the interstate through New Orleans as a 3 digit spur route. But it was decided to route I-10 through New Orleans for the “economic impact” of having one of the a major east-west interstates go through New Orleans.

I think an I-10N and I-10S kind of like how I-35 is around DWF would have made the most sense.

No
Because it isn’t

If an Interstate had 3 digits and starts with an odd number it leads you into or away from an interstate. 110 leads you away from BR. 510 Leads you away from NOLA. If it starts with an even number it leads you around a city. Like 610 in NOLA or 210 in LC.

I-12 was done by the army in case new orleans flooded they wanted an alternative route

I agree.
New Orleans really is an outer loop suburb of Ponchatoula, anyways.

I confess to zoning out while I-10 WB on way from NWFL to TX and failed to catch the I-12 "cutoff". Got off the first opportunity and turned around to catch it from I-10EB

New Orleans is the states largest city, it makes sense that the “main road” along the Gulf Coast should go through there instead of the Northshore, while I-12 is clearly a bypass.
Now the one that really doesn’t make sense is I-610 in New Orleans…this one should absolutely be swapped with 10, and I think they plan to in the future (so within the next 20-40 years minimum)
