Yesterday I drove down 171 and due to it having traffic it wasn't very bad but as soon as I turned down a rural road that had no traffic my truck started to slide. Traffic will melt ice quick so 171 isn't even the most dangerous in this situation.

yeah exctly

hell downtown, i'd say 75% of the roads are 100% ok without a doubt...but you hit pujo street and you're fricked...or broad...or lakeshore. and this is the most urban area of the parish

i can only imagine trying to drive kids to Iowa or some of those schools in BFE west of the lake

You are so right... I had to bring my gf to work this morning for 5:30... left the house at 4:30 because I wasn't going to drive faster than 30mph... Got to Airline in Prarieville and right in front of Wal Mart they had a DOTD truck flipped over on it's side that what supposed to be salting roads... No one was even on the roads and this guy flipped the truck... I damn near have brand new tires and I still was sliding a bit going 20 to 25 mph...
