It might be the worst traffic road in Baton Rouge with Siegen coming in close 2nd.

Everyone cuts off everyone trying to merge on the interstate. Horns blasting everywhere. Stuck between 2 major hospitals

Baton Rouge drivers also have a very low IQ in general so it makes it that much worse.

Rant over

Are you the chick in the green altima with weed smoke rolling out your windows? I think I see you.

Why did they make the side heading to Staring more lanes than the side heading to the interstate?

No that was just another Medicaid dependent NBR resident enjoying the fruits of St. George

They finally got the lights synchronized so they turn green right when there’s nowhere to go.

This is news to you?


You have only driven Essen Lane, been annoyed by it.



I grew up on it and learned to drive on it.

Still nobody can figure out the left hand turning lane that goes from Essen onto Perkins.

The cars on the right want to get over to the left and vise versa.

College Drive might take the award for shittier road but Essen traffic is way more of a nightmare.

College’s traffic is mainly commercial.

Essen’s is an unholy nightmare of residential, regular commercial, and several hospitals with shift changes at bad times.

it IS, however, the most likely place you'll see a wreck of the most expensive car in town into the worst beater.

Right in line with ya buddy, misery loves company!

But you’re right, Essen gets my vote by a landslide for the worst.

And don’t let that afternoon train be late talk about a nightmare!

I think that is around the Hundred Oaks / Bawell convergence where you have the mega money homes a block away from the area which used to be the street the help lived on.

Essen isn’t bad. The stretch between 10 and Jefferson is the worst. I used to commute from prairieville to old goodwood and would spend more time in that 1/2 mile stretch then the other mileage combined
