I second this.

Hair pin and no banked curves.

Little if any traffic, no cops for miles unless they are on a call.

This should be the road sign when you enter 307.

I dont know the number but St Bernard Hwy in the Violet area has a cool stretch with huge oaks on each side. Forms like a tunnel.


The "San Bernardo Scenic Byway" ( at the name)

As a kid I was always amazed at that drive.

LA-15 from Ferriday to Lettsworth.


This ride is pretty great. The Mississippi on one side, some of the prettiest woods in the state on the other, and all the control structures to boot.

Extremely unpopulated too. I'd bet there's are less than 100 people living in the area from where hwy 15 hits the levee south of Vidalia to just outside Lettsworth.

I love 28 because I can cruise for the whole length and never hit the brakes.

La77 from plaquemine back to I10.

Think you're a fast driver? Head north with the afternoon traffic.

The fricking school bus does 80+

I have personally seen a group of cars blow past sport bike riders who braked too early by the boat launch.

A few LOOOOONG straights and a few curves beyond 90 degrees has lead to quite a few motorcycle deaths.

I've always loved Scenic Highway through Baton Rouge, especially the areas where it passes all those streets named in honor of the Native American tribes.

State Street Drive.
First the name is confusing. It's not State Street, that's down the way. It's State St drive. But let's make it worse It's one of the worst roads in the city. Speed limit is 25 you're lucky if you can do 10. Don't cut down nearby Vicennes as it's worse.

Good news is is partially repaired after a 10 month construction project.

I've been to a lot of places but this road might be the craziest one I've been on. Hairpin turns with no shoulder

I find LA 26 between Oberlin and Jennings very picturesque. Oberlin and Jennings themselves are not picturesque.

That’s an old picture. It connects to LA 3127 now, seen in the background of your picture.

After Ida that route saved a ton of time dealing with I10 going into NOLA. Especially when the spillway was all messed up because of the fire.

US 167 from Pineville to Ruston. People in south Louisiana have no clue about the quality of roads in the northern part. It’s like the legislators up there worry about infrastructure while the ones down south worry about things like funding for festivals and other crap.
