Near the split (10/12). I had to this weekend, and couldn’t see shite. Had to use the iPhone light. Either the working lights are that dull Amber, or they aren’t working at all.
Who do we complain to? Public Service Commissioner? I want it to look like the bright lights at the new 10/12 interchange or the Juban Crossing interchange. Those lights are GREAT!

I have AAA so I don't have to take my life into my own hands. I'll gladly pay and wait for that.

I have changed a flat on the elevated section of I-10 right next to the Superdome. You would not believe how much that shite moves when a tractor-trailer passes. I do not care to relive that experience!

You can feel vibrations too when sitting on the exit ramps. Don’t care for that too much.

I-12 not far past the 21 exit westbound. Taking mom for a knee replacement. Her car, my paranoid schizophrenic brother with me. Mom was on the nerve meds they gave her. She said she would call and cancel. I reminded her we left an hour early. My brother said there was no way roadside assistance could get there and change the tire in an hour. I told him to get out of the car and get the spare. We were back on the road in 20 minutes. Mom said “I’ll have to wait till payday to fix the tire”. I wasn’t happy but I let it go. Also state breakdown crew was there within 15 minutes.

Parishes maintain their own lighting is what I have been told, including interstates and highways.

That was you?!? Now I can say it personally. Sucks to be that guy. Glad it's not me.

Yes, I-10 just past highland daytime, and another time under the gaze of a new girlfriends mom which is way more challenging.

The street lights in Baton Rouge are horrible at best. Airline Hwy from Coursey to Siegen the lights are almost non-existence like many major streets in BTR. They claim to be converting to LED lights in many areas and have started on 3rd street. I guess so the street fights outside the bars can be lit up for fight nights.

Was at a very modern driving range and came out to find that my tire had a slow leak and was flat. Called AAA, but canceled because my BIL and SIL came with a little tire pump that plugged into the former cigarette lighter power of my car. It wasn't real fast, but it was digital so we set the tire pressure to its require amount and about 15 minutes later it was back up so I could drive to my local station to have it fixed.

Bought one from Amazon for a bout $30. Had a couple of slow leaks this year along. It's also good for those winter low tire pressure events.

Was told by a local politician that ENTERGY oversees EBR interstate lighting….. if so, another reason I hate that company.
