Coming off the bridge EB at the 10-110 split, the sign points to the left lane for I-10, right lane for I-12. So everybody going to NOLA stays in the left lane and it backs up when the right lane is still moving. The actual 10-12 split is several miles further on. Change the sign to reflect that, and the bottleneck speeds up.

So...the fact that I-10 is only 1 lane wide means nothing.

If you drive like a cheesedick, you should have your license pulled. I also believe vehicles should merge with more than 500 feet to spare, and if cars don't let them in, they should be ticketed too.

In short, if you prove yourself to be a shitty driver, you shouldn't be on the road.

Haha, not falling for your trickery. All on ramps in EBR are less than 100 feet long

:D

I thought I could sneak that one in there. I'm not gonna lie though, people who (on roads that have long distances to merge) wait til the last second irritate the hell out of me. I used to throw damaged tennis balls that I picked up at the court at their car, but was asked politely by a policeman to stop.

And to think, all this time it was the sign that was backing up traffic past Lobdell.

The problem is, some of those "trash" are BR city council members and mayoral candidates.
