18 Wheelers are the few vehicles on the road that have restrictions to what they can and cannot do.


You want to change an already independent variable?

It constrains the variable. I've seen it work in action. It would help to reduce traffic especially during low to moderate congestion periods.

Of course, we need to do a better job of policing vehicles who hold traffic in the left lane altogether.

Furthermore, Baton Rouge should cut a deal with West Baton Rouge and pay that parish annually for an agreement to force tractor-trailers heading East down 190 and across the Old Bridge. This would immediately alleviate traffic on the New Bridge and the cluster that is the one lane I-10 debacle.
