It's ridiculous. How do you design a city of 400K with only one artery that travels east and west and none that travel north and south?

That doesn't touch on BR's answer to every intersection being a fricking traffic light so that even when there is little traffic, you can't go 100 feet without stopping.

You answered your own question. It wasn't designed as a city of 400,000. When I first visited Baton Rouge in the early 60s it was a sleepy little town of 100,000 people. The city limits ended at Foster Drive on the east and the new Mississippi River bridge didn't exist. Acadian Thruway was designed to be the loop on the outskirts of the city.
