why your traffic sucks so bad now.

That has very little to do with it.
It’s dumb drivers and cell phones and outdated infrastructure.

too many loops

outdated infrastructure.

This is the problem. The infrastructure can't keep up with the increase in demand. That's what I was describing.

This could be the dumbest excuse I’ve read about why traffic is so bad!!

It’s cause there’s more people driving now than ever with the same amount of roads from when there wasn’t as many drivers.

I use my horn now more than ever trying to get people to put their phones down and go when the light changes.

Wrong. One vehicle delivers multiple packages. If each of those households did not have delivery they would have to get in their vehicles and drive to the store to purchase the item. That would increase traffic.

Actually, I'm correct. Your single item purchase creates a delivery that wasn't on the road before. In the past, when you went to the store you'd buy multiple items on one trip...not just one item. However, you haven't stopped going to the local stores either. I still go to the store. I buy things online that I can't get locally or I find it less expensive....or just something I didn't need in the first place. But, we still go to local stores.

Damn. I get about one package a year

its outdated infrastructure. just to pick on ascension parish the population explosion in the last 30 years is ridiculous. the same three roads serve it LA73 LA44 and us61. plus I10 there has been no growth of infrastructure. Livingston parish same thing explosive growth multip[le neighborhoods and apartments and 3 roads Range LA16 Walker north/south Juban and I12

Did you think at all before making this argument? Less people shopping locally will result in less traffic, not more.

Constant construction of entry level housing where double incomes are requiring two people to drive to earn a living to make ends meet. These people are then driving on crowded ancient roads with open ditches. There is rapid construction with poor infrastructure and what infrastructure is being planned wanders over to places which are not really solving any of the problems, but are increasing the value of properties controlled by the politicians. Dr. Seuss could not come up with more bizarre road schemes.
And this cheaply constructed housing will not age well. It is just the constructing of the slums of tomorrow.
