saw a sign just outside West Monroe that said "Narcotics Checkpoint Ahead" and several cars being searched by sheriff's deputies at the exit. There's no way that is constitutionally legal,right?


They put that there to see who peels off the interstate.


Having driven part of that road repeatedly when we still had the properties in NOLA, that "checkpoint " sign has been catching them for at least thirty years.

One thing you didn't mention: summer and the tires can't take the heat of the highway and they delaminate and leave tire bits all over the roads.

The road north of Gadsden used to be so bad that people would pull off to check to see which tire was going flat. Tires were fine, but the joints between the poured concrete slabs made the trip miserable.

Uh, if you really started out in NM, you couldn’t have failed to notice just how bad I40 is in NM. Worse than anything Louisiana has to offer.

You seem to think I started this thread to somehow promote Albuquerque.

Thanks for promoting Albuquerque I guess?

In HS I once drove from ABQ to Memphis in a single day.

Made two turns before pulling into my neighborhood.

I-40 from Albuquerque to the Texas state line is noticeably better that any stretch of I-20 from just West of Shreveport to the Alabama state line.

Source: I just drove them both in the last 2 days.

That tends to happen when your voting population actually wants laws to be enforced.

I've seen it on I 59 in Mississippi.
Twice.
And I don’t travel that way too often

Well of course Birmingham is shitty if you only saw Bessmah and the other shanty towns on I-20.

As someone who worked for years in a large part of New Mexico your post is hysterical

As someone who has read your posts for years this thread is predictable

Do respect that y’all still sell liquor in gas stations though

Speaking of...the part of I-20 through Tuscaloosa smells like frozen hot dog water.
