If you take I-49, be sure to do the speed limit once you hit DeSoto Parish. The cops live on the interstate and love to write tickets.

30-45 minutes getting out of NO, an hour to two hours in and around BR. Thats without accidents.

I've made that trek many many times and 8 hours isnt that bad.

Waze can’t tell you when you leave at 3 that a wreck will happen at 3:45. So a wreck happens and you either sit in traffic, or back track and add 2 hours to your drive.

55 to mccomb, 98 to natchez, 425 to rayville, 20 to shreveport



This is what I'd do. 98 through the forest is 55mph 2-lane but only about 20mi. Then you get on hwy84 which is 65mph 4-lane to Natchez. 425 up to Rayville is mostly 65mph 4-lane.

That stretch of blacktop has me almost ready to start using the interstate. At least it's only about 11 minutes worth of the drive.

put your destination in Waze at the beginning, then go whichever way it tells you. I'd guess Hwy 90 to I-49.

This... Waze saves time and my sanity. The only problem is it lacks predictive measures that would anticipate if the route it provides will clog up with traffic during the trip.

90 to 49. That way you miss Baton Rouge completely.

I-55 to Hwy 27 to I-20. Or 90 to I-49.

It will take an hour minimum to get through 4:00 BR traffic. Use Waze and find the quickest route around BR.
