Let's discuss: Worst place to drive in Louisiana

I've lived in all the major metro areas, and with time.. I have to say, Lafayette overall has the worst traffic. Especially around the Pinhook area/Johnston St/Ambassador.
Surprisingly, UL's campus isn't that bad though.
Baton Rouge and Nola are tied to me for most aggressive drivers. I've seen some of the worst driving when backed up heading to laplace during rush hour. Baton Rouge on Perkins at 5 is a fricking nightmare.
Lake Charles has the most inept drivers, especially on the split.
Who gives a shite about alexandria.
I have no comment on Shreveport or monroe since I'm rarely there.

A bunch of left lane idiots that don’t know how to accelerate.

Not necessarily because of traffic, but I-12 through Livingston Parish around 6:30am will make you think you're at Daytona

Driving around Monroe made me want to shoot myself every time I left campus when I was at ULM

I thought Birmingham was bad until I got to BR.

See, I'd agree with you if not for the fact that Lafayette has no major freeway going through it to remove most of the rush hour.
And evangeline thrw isn't a justifable option since it's essentially how Youngsville and Broussard bleed into 5 oclock traffic. Plus you have everyone heading to carencro with that mess.
Pinhook is a nightmare, no legitimate ways out. You gotta either deal with South college to I-10 or connect all the way to evangeline thrw. It just blows all around. A legit freeway would free all this up.

I-12 Tchefuncte River bridge at any time of the day and you're taking a risk.
Also, and I have no idea why, trying to drive my the hospital in Bogalusa around 315PM on a weekday is absolute madness.

Ambassador in Lafayette. frick that

Once it clears up past carencro, you're fine.
I-10 from lafayette to Rayne is bumper to bumper, same heading the opposite direction. I'd argue that's worse.

It has to be BR and I don't think its even close

Ferriday, Louisiana.
Two mile long nonstop speed trap with an absurd amount of red lights where cops spend their entire days looking to bust someone going five over their ridiculous speed limit or get someone on an expired inspection.
An absolute shithole of a town.

Live in Nola, but I work a lot in BR and Laffy...between the three, traffic in BR is the worst and it’s really not even close.
