For starters highway 90 would add two hours to their trip over just taking I-12


False AF

If there is no traffic both ways its 30-45 min farther

But how often is there no traffic on the 10/12 laffy to slidell corridor?

The interstate truck lobby is has been 'buying' members of congress for decades now. REASONABLE ideas how to slow down/mitigate the mayhem, are routinely dismissed under the guise that ANYTHING which slows down commerce is bad !
Simple and sane ideas might include : 1. 18 wheelers limited to slow/right lanes and barred from passing lanes 2. 18 wheeler speed limits set at least 5mph lower....can we all not agree to waiting for the new washer/toaster etc. for another day or two ?

They should have hooked a few wreckers up and pulled that hunk of junk on the shoulder. Then tell the truck company to get it after midnight.
It’s insane to tie up this much traffic.

Legislators just denied a Right Lane only bill for Semi's.

Something needs to be done

Keith’s Towing has the rig on the shoulder by 5pm when I passed by headed west. Traffic was at a standstill headed east for at least ten miles. All on east bound ramps were stopped resulting in all side streets also at a standstill.

That would probably be even worse. It’s always a clusterfrick on 10 from MSY to Clearview.

18 wheelers should never leave the right lane unless the car in front is going 10 mph.

I just got home. Left work at 4:30 PM yesterday.


Looks like I have time to shite, shave, and shower, make some eggs, deadlift a little, do my graveyard shift for the HOA, and head back. I’ll take pics of the carnage.

Apparently an 18 wheeler flipped over.


I was standing in a hotel parking lot in view of the interstate when this happened. I heard two loud booms, then walked around the corner and saw the truck on it's side.

An 18 wheeler rolling over doesn't sound quite like I expected it would.

I don’t what the deal is. It is like people are scared to cross the bridge. Traffic backs up there for no reason at all.
