Agree completely and I understand this is extremely difficult to deal with.

Certainly they do. But on every road in town?

Never driven through San Diego and its been years since ive been to Austin. Atlanta is bad, so is Houston, but they are also what, two of the largest metro areas in the country? I've also spent a good bit of time in DFW. Traffic is pretty bad there too, but there are ways to get from point to point in town.
There are no such luxuries in Baton Rouge.

I'm late to the traffic part of this thread, but I'll point out that comparisons between BR and Atlanta are silly. Metro Atlanta has almost twice the population of the entire state of LA. So yeah, there will be traffic. Yes, BR traffic sucks, but that's the price of growth. It will get better as people embrace the right sorts of capital expenditures.
