re: Driving to Tuscaloosa

You can easily make it to Tuscaloosa from Baton Rouge in a little under 5 hours. I have made the drive three times in the past 3 months. Speed traps start outside of Hattiesburg, outside of Laurel and Meridien has cops before the city, in the city and after the city. The speed drops from 70 to 60 and back to 70 but DO NOT speed up over 70 until you are at least 5 miles outside of Meridian. Peoppe get stopped outside of Meridian going 4 miles onver the speed limit.

ALSO, If you are running low on gas make sure you stop in Meridian because there are limited gas stations rigth off the HWY between Meridian and Tuscaloosa.
