re: 2 hours to get through Baton Rouge today

I drive from Essen to the Louis Street exit almost every weekday and today was a huge outlier. I can get from home to work in about 10-15 minutes at 8 a.m. and similarly back at 5-5:30 almost every day. Maybe add 5 minutes if it’s near the beginning of fall semester at LSU.

If you live and work in BR traffic is not terrible typically. Plenty of ways to bypass the absolute horror of I-10.

Per capita, BR might have the worst traffic of any city in America.

And the guy running DOTD wants to be Governor. If they take i10 to one lane before the next election that will be political suicide.

I’ve lived in Baton Rouge for almost two decades, and I’ve never seen traffic like yesterday, outside of there being a hurricane just offshore. Yesterday was utterly insane, but utterly abnormal.

My wife works about 3 miles from our house and it took her an hour and a half to get home yesterday

I know that there was one major wreck on I-12, heading East, just before the O'Neal exit. That was causing HUGE back ups heading East.
Took me forever to get home, I used every back road I could think of. The problem is, once that happens, everyone is diverting to FL Blvd., which is the only route to get across the Amite River.
So gridlock is everywhere. There is no relief.

Dude that's almost 70 miles.
I commuted from MidTown/Mockingbird Station to Waco for a few months in 2001.
People comparing Baton Rouge Traffic to large cities conveniently leave out facts like there are as many people in the DFW Metroplex as we have in Louisiana. Totally the same.
Baton Rouge is TOOO damned small to have this bullshite big city traffic. Yesterday was a clusterfrick

Yeah what caused it?
I have no idea. I didn't have far to get home from the office, but I didn't see a single stall or accident. But what I did see was bumper to bumper traffic on neighborhood back roads that I've never so much as had to tap my breaks on before. Yesterday was bizarre.
