I-12 sucks...

They seriously need to widen it and make all 18 wheelers stay in the right lane...

This should be the law on ALL four lane highways as well as trucks overall a certain weight, axle/wheel count should have to run at a reduced speed.

This works, I've witnessed it first hand in Europe.
Trucks must travel the right lane at a speed slower than "car" traffic and only use the left if they are passing ... which isn't often, then immediately go back to the right lane.

Except with the shitty design of the I-12 and I-10 merge and then the left exit onto the bridge, that causes issues when the 18 wheelers try to move over in Baton Rouge where drivers don’t seem to know how to allow someone to merge in front of them.

There are a number of metro areas where they’ve made through truck traffic get into the left lane so as to avoid collisions at on/off ramps.

It is damn near a straight line. I don't understand what the problem is
