Is Ascension Parish the capital of running red lights?

I've lived here for about ten years now and one thing I notice, these mother frickers will run a red light.

I understand hurrying through a light that is yellow, but here in AP, my light will turn green and 2-3 cars will come through the intersection, knowing damn well, their light was red before they entered the intersection.

This is every intersection in AP.

The light at Airline and Old Perkins is the worst. You also get the tards that try to run it, and someone 3 cars ahead is turning into the Chevron right there, and they are then stuck in the intersection blocking traffic.

Everyone's in a hurry to get out of Ascension Parish.

Dunno, but it's the state capital of cheating wives.

AP chicks think soap operas are reality tv.

That's every where in Louisiana. We're probably close to the bottom when it comes to driving too...insurance more than doubled for me when I moved here from Iowa.

I'm not sure about AP and red lights but I know New Orleans is the capital of motherfrickers walking down the middle of the street without a care in the world even during rush hour traffic. I was astonished at how many people just mosey about and I've never once seen someone see a car and then be like "oh better get out of this guys way".

I disagree. I live in BR my whole life and never saw it this bad. Cops use to sit at different intersections just to enforce this, plus the traffic cameras.

not sure about that stat but, they are very slow learners. They added the left turn light to 621 at airline last year and people still haven't figured it out. they will sit there and wait for the vehicles from the other side to pass. by the time they figure out they have the right of way, the light is yellow and they haul arse through.

I delivered Pizza in the Northern Part of your Parish from 2011 to 2016.
I think it's the old school mentality of rural folks looking and saying "ah frick it nothings coming, I'm running it."
combined with the relatively low crime in that part of the parish thus low police presence by APSO. FWIW Pville needs it's own PD.

Regardless of theories or reason, you're absolutely correct. I seent it myself whether it's 10pm on Wednesday Nights or 10 am on Sunday mornings.

AP and LP drivers are the reason BR traffic is fricked up
