the BR surface streets are terrible.


understatement of the year. They are deplorable in every sense. Of course, the same can be said for 99.99999% of the streets in the entire state.

How the state of Louisiana and the local munis get away with their dereliction and misspending of tax payer money is unfathomable to me.

According to the 2008 INRIX National Traffic Scorecard, which ranks the top 100 congested metropolitan areas in the U.S., Baton Rouge is the 33rd-most-congested metro area in the country. However, at a population rank of 67 out of 100, it has the second-highest ratio of population rank to congestion rank, higher than even the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana metropolitan area, indicating a remarkably high level of congestion for the comparatively low population. According to the Scorecard, Baton Rouge was the only area out of all 100 to show an increase in congestion from 2007 to 2008 (+6%). The city also tied for the highest jump in congestion rank over the same period (14 places).[81]
