re: Post Game Traffic - Highland @ Lee & W Lee

that's the problem. People aren't going or are leaving early. They'll stomach a traffic shite show 1-2 times per year for a big opponent but they won't even consider it for the other games.

I agree with you. 6 games per year. I'm staying the entire time. I don't care if LSU is scrimmaging themselves for one of those 6. I'll be there and take the traffic woes.

The frustrating part is that officials aren't doing everything they can to make the traffic work. The easiest fixes are forcing traffic to contraflow and getting a wider circle with traffic lights.

They didn't even have Burbank contraflow past Lee last Saturday. That is the biggest asset they have going for them in the traffic battle and they didn't use it.

Makes NO SENSE.

Nicholson was backed up too. No cars should cross Nicholson from campus to Bluebonnet. All the lights should be green and cops should be waving cars all the way down the street.

That would require cops getting off their butts and helping with traffic. I'm constantly amused by every cop posted at every traffic control point sitting around watching the traffic.

Highland and Lee was definitely unorganized after the game Saturday. I stayed the whole game and expected an easy ride home, but sat in traffic a long time on Highland just outside the south gates. It's usually never like that after one of these rent a win games. All traffic lights were active, and vehicles at Lee were allowed to cross Highland. Every time the light would turn green for Highland Road traffic, the intersection would be blocked by vehicles on Lee. Drivers were having to strategically navigate around these vehicles every light cycle, which backed up traffic on Highland. Bad thing was the police were just standing around watching.
