New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Not remotely close for anywhere else.
New Orleans is worse because jackass legit go across 4 lanes of traffic. They don’t have that option in BR

I want to burn down that Chick-fil-A on ambassador near Johnston. Seriously screws up traffic so bad

It's definitely Baton Rouge
But I will say rising in the ranks is the Covington/Mandeville stretch of I-12. Seems like there is a wreck there almost every day

Washington DC is the worst place to drive in America...followed by Houma

I-10 and I-12 have some of the worst, most aggressive drivers anywhere I've seen. It's like driving in India but at 100 mph.

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 live in Lafayette, and drive in Lafayette. Traffic isn't that bad, but I also don't attempt to drive down Ambassador at 5pm or something like that. My wife drives from East Bayou to the Saints streets and back 5 days a week (via Pinhook) and doesn't complain about traffic.

New Orleans and its not even close

Lafayette traffic gets hot, but BR traffic is consistently worse

This.
I am just glad that this is a label Monroe doesn't really have to worry about.

Siegen Lane says "hold my beer". I see someone doing this daily on my lunch break.

Traffic in Houma has gotten much better with the addition of all of those side streets off of MLK.
With the new South Hollywood extension going right through the swamp, it cuts off a few minutes for me to get my parents house in bayou black.
ETA: the Alexandria traffic circle takes the cake. I feel like perfect placement of a rooftop bar would be at one of the corners. Perfect place to watch the idiots in action.

NOLA has the most traffic/cars, but it moves. And there are options to take other routes.
Baton Rouge isn’t a quarter of the size of Metro NOLA, but it just sits and you can’t go anywhere. And God forbid there’s an accident on the interstate, because you just decided to live wherever you currently are because you aren’t going anywhere else.
I-12 through Covington at the bridge has gotten really bad. And the only other ways to get around it are through Madisonville and hope the bridge isn’t letting a boat through or downtown Covington where you have to stop at a dozen red lights.
Baton Rouge is the easily the worst though. It stops traffic in other parishes!

I-49 between Lafayette and Alexandria. It’s the the most boring, most featureless landscape I’ve ever traveled.
Posted on 4/16/21 at 2:11 pm to A Smoke Break
I have driven in many of our largest cities in our country, Baton Rouge is still the worst.

Baton Rouge isn’t that bad. You have to know how to get around.
