re: Driving from Metairie to LSU

Green Rock

You have to stop. We aren't trying to deliberately degrade you..you are telling us things that are very alarming as they apply to human society and you and OP need to freaking realize you aren't doing anything to help this society.

Both of you are trying to set us back by not teaching your young how to fricking drive..dont take it personal..Just take this advice to do fricking better with how you are raising your children , thats all.

And to BEEF SUPREME...OP


Do fricking better and grow some damn balls yourself and realize you need to teach your daughter how to fricking drive.

She will be better for it, along with every other driver she is near

There are a lot of keyboard dicks or cocks in this thread. Getting her experience is important, but I think you know situation with your daughter better than any of us. If it needed to go slow before just try to increase her experience and practice in that kind of traffic now especially for some key areas she likely will have to go. I think the HWY 30 option seems ok with the warning about the St Gabriel speed traps seems ok and warning to not assume people will follow street light rules properly. This goes anywhere. The highland rd option also is fine.

I would have her drive some of the interstate while y’all are there. It does suck, but BR is too spread out to avoid the interstate for too long. The other non-interstate traffic isn’t exactly great or always safe. Find some times when less traffic to get used to driving to certain likely destinations she will need to travel. Make sure she knows before hand which exits to take and lanes that can take those exits and any thing she should look out for. Knowing specific directions upfront instead of relying on a map app to tell her just before along with some actual practice in lighter traffic can ease some of the panic that might occur.

While some are getting fixed and it’s been several years since I have been in BR the biggest concerns I remember are in heavy traffic not knowing exit ahead of time and trying to cross multiple lanes of heavy traffic and a couple of weird entrances and exits.

A couple of entrance lanes end quicker than the rest making quickly getting up to merging speed a big necessity on ramps or elevated HWY which also start to seem very tight in a lot of traffic. It might have been College onto I10 Westbound only due to maybe not picking up enough speed on curve first or second time around I use it and Acadian onto I10 West bound which has enough length to pick up speed after turning from Acadia but available length to actually merge was short.

Some places you might use to get on and off interstate in one direction may not have entrances and exits to and from the other direction. That kind of stuff is more problematic without a plan ahead of time and driving along interstate expecting to use an exit that doesn’t exist coming back and then panicking.

It will be new to her, but not all satellite views in map apps make it clear that I12 West bound has flipped with I10 Westbound at their merge with the I12 college exit much sooner than it used to be and before the merge and now after requiring to get over several lanes to the right to exit at Acadian which is next exit and a big exit to LSU. The driving direction should be up to date, but if looking in advance at Satellite view to actually see how it looks overhead that view may be out of date (not sure if street view stuff has been updated yet either). The switch makes the College and Acadian exits easier from I10, but it’s still new enough where just looking at a satellite view might not make it clear what’s happening and will be new to other freshman drives as well.

Also have her learn multiple routes to get to the places she needs to go that avoid no go areas. Traffic sucks. It’s always best to have multiple options and leave early enough to avoid being in a rush.

BR has plenty of alternate routes, you just dismiss all of them as “ghetto”

That’s more true than it’s false. There are a lot more no go places in Baton Rouge than 20 years ago.

Everyone who made it to this point of the thread knew that ColoradoCock was a loser, so finding out that he is probably accounting for half the thread's responses isn't shocking.

Let's make it be known that Tri state area Football could never make his own varsity team and now has kids that hes scared to have drive on the interstate

talking to yourself again?

Why hasn’t she drove in interstate before? Seems like you didn’t prepare her for basic things in life
