from 3pm to 6pm?

Holy hell, it’s absolutely terrible every day.

Nothing can be done about it either.

No, that would be any road leading into Livingston Parish at those times.

Have you tried taking Old Jefferson into the AP? I find my afternoon drive shorter when I take that road.

Traffic in all of Baton Rouge is terrible everyday

I-10 W between 7-9:30 is always shite

I-10 E starting at around 2:30 is shite

2:30!!! Why is it so terrible when kids aren’t out of school and people should be at work?!??

And airline and all the roads leading to the interstates are all backed up

It’s not usually women on the roads at the times I mentioned

Yesterday when I got on I-10 at 2:30 in my Tahoe it was all 18 wheelers and F-150s that think they are 18 wheelers

If they would enforce the law of “No cell phone in drivers hand”, it would get exponentially better.

BR traffic is up there with the worst traffic in the southeast.

When I was living there I would always notice tons of Texas plates in the spring and summer clogging up the roads. They travel through BR to get to the beach or wherever because its the only way. Trust me they wish they could avoid it

When is shift change at the various hospitals? 2-3PM?

Essen is always a shite show starting around then and the rest of the “medical district” isn’t much better.

We have tons of Texas plates now thanks to ‘migrants’ and LSU students

Someone in Texas is printing fake plates.

I’d wager that 80% of the traffic on airline is turning left onto Hwy 42 and most of that traffic is heading towards LP.

Just sucks that there is nothing that can be done to alleviate traffic in Prairieville for us that live here.

Have you even Essen Laned during those times?

Same time it takes you to get from Essen to Essen you get from Essen to Prairieville.

I agree, luckily I’m just right near the corner of 42 and airline. Also, I come from BR and the only traffic I really get into is between bayou manchac and Perkins rd by the Walmart. Gotta know the backroads

Texas would have turned that into a freeway 40 years ago. LA just doesn't ever act regarding traffic.

Would have been nice to add a lane both ways somtime in the last 30 years. It's not like there's no room.

Yup. That airline/12 interchange is crappy.
