re: I missed BR traffic.

And the majority of all logistics commerce in the gulf south runs through that one single bridge.
The problem isn't the bridge. The problem is the 30 MPH sharp right hand turn at the bottom of the bridge that funnels three lanes of traffic into two and then to one lane and back to three.
For <1% the cost of a new bridge and its infrastructure, you could utilize imminent domain for a corridor of land that widens and softens the bridge transition which eliminates forced merging, allowing traffic to maintain lane and speed. This, along with current project (which looks to be shockingly well conceived) that is reworking I-10 from the bridge to the split would drastically decease that bottleneck.

Jokes aside BR isn’t nearly as bad as folks on here make it out to be.
My work drive-times are ~6:30am and ~3:30pm. When school is out, it's manageable in the mornings, but in the afternoons I still have to check the traffic map to see how bad the backups are at 10-110 and along 12 from 10-Sherwood or of it's better to take Florida. When school is in, it's a complete clusterfrick no matter which way you go.

Where I live, 4 cars at a light is considered a traffic jam

A thousand percent.

The 225 has a lot going for it. Sure it isn’t perfect but there’s definitely much worse out there.
Actually there isn’t. It’s consistently ranked at the bottom of every positive category and the top of every negative one.
It is better than Shreveport and Jackson Ms.

For sure in most aspects, but definitely NOT in the roads bridges, parkways & loops department.

Many of the city's street lights need to be better timed and programmed to only flip when a car is waiting and to prioritize the main lane of traffic.
I’ve always said that the BR are perfectly synchronized. Synchronized to make you stop at every single light.

Sounds like you live in Tensas. 45 miles to Walmart in all directions.
