Driving to College Station Friday - Help Me Avoid BR Traffic
Posted on 10/18/16 at 8:31 am
Posted on 10/18/16 at 8:31 am
Leaving NOLA Friday. Don't want to leave at 4AM but if thats the only way to beat BR traffic I will.
Anyone know what time of morning the traffic is flowing smoothly through BR? I assume this is the only city I may encounter shite traffic on this trip.
TIA

Use Google maps. It helps

Strongly considered. But I have to bring to bring some stuff with me...and a dog. Not worth the hassle.

Unless you take 105 out of Beaumont you will absolutely encounter shite traffic in Houston

No shite. If I go 90 to Laffey I would avoid it but if one of you BR regulars knows what time the traffic is usually flowing smoothly I can avoid adding 45 min to an alread 6.5 hour drive.
So GFY

Take 90 to Laff. Slow down in Jeanerette for the speed traps and you're golden until you hit Houston.
ETA: Honestly, it's an LSU home weekend and you're traveling on a Friday. Traffic will probably start on Thursday.

Seconded.
I use that app to get around San Antonio even when I know where I'm going

Friday mornings heading west are rarely ever bad. From Highland to Port Allen shouldn't take longer than 15-20 min at 8am

It normally takes me 7 hours to get from North Houston to New Orleans. Not a chance in frick all you make it to College Station in 6.5 hours.

Leave Nola around 8am.
Hit Baton Rouge just past 9
Hit Houston just after the lunch rush.
You'll be golden

Do not attempt to drive through after about 6:45. If you leave NOLA at 5 you should be ok.

Thank you sir
I use WAZE. But Waze only helps so much. BR is one of those cities you just gotta time right.
this man answered my question.

290 is a stupid road 24/7.

The game is in Tuscaloosa. I understand you probably aren't traveling for the game but just an FYI
Posted on 10/18/16 at 8:48 am to Dire Wolf
90 to laffy, 1-10 to Beaumont,105 to Conroe, then to college station

good looking out. No, I have a wedding.

Yeah traffic will be hit on 290 unless you're on it between 9 pm and 5 am
Unless you take 105 in Beaumont to Highway 6 in Navasota, which is what I would recommend. Longer distance but much more predictable traffic wise

Concur. If you hit BR anytime after 11am, you will have some level of traffic congestion. Absolutely avoid the area after 2pm
Sometimes WAZE will plan your route and not include any anticipated traffic. If you are leaving NOLA later than 11am, I'd take 90 to Laffy
