Siegen I feel has a lot of traffic, but it moves a lot better than the others


I was going to post the same, during peak traffic times siegen ks busy but it moves pretty fast for the amount of cars. Lunch being the worst time. The worst part of siegen is getting off I10 east and trying to turn left onto Siegen. Assholes will block the inside lane under the overpass.

The heroin/meth/prostitution community that lives/operates out of the Motel 6 on Siegen is the cause of 90% of this panhandlers.

You always see downtrodden people all around those business establishments

I thought the construction on Essen was only to add an "ambulance lane"

On the bridge over the creek by the hospital? Yes possibly.

But there is also construction over towards Essen at I12 I believe.

The intersection of Brightside and Nicholson(30) is about to be redone. Widening the road and putting in turning lanes while lowering the grade to cross the tracks.

Reiger Road is one of the top three worst places in the city according to police call data. They get multiple calls there per day.

For me, Essen was #1. Im guessing you have a shite load of people coming and going at once during shift changes.

College I avoided around lunch time, the others ive never had problems with.

I do remember the last time I got off at seigen, I was stopping by a friends after work, was the last time I was ever going to get off at seigen. Was a freaking parking lot headed towards Airline.

Airline by the Jefferson overpass between Jefferson and Bluebonnet and Siegen

Essen between Albertson's and I-10

College...all of it.

Siegen heading South...all of it.


Underrated...South Acadian at 3 pm when that arts school lets out.

You also have Catholic High, St. Joseph's, and BRMHS all letting out and heading to the interstate at that time.

have to believe that someone, somewhere outside of our city needs to take a look at light cycles and determine how to set them and also limit the left turns in certain areas.

Used to drive me nuts when I lived in BR. Apparently bothing has changed in ten years.

A friend of mine used to say the light cycles were a ploy by businesses to make people want to stop instead of driving by. I guess it’s a good an explanation as any considering they’re synchronized to ensure everyone stops at every light.

Is The Times restaurant still there off of Essen? That place had the best burgers.

College drive is by far the worse. The number of traffic lights from Perkins to the interstate makes it a big cluster frick when there is a lot of traffic. Anyone ever got caught up where the traffic was so backed up, you were stuck on Perkins, waiting for the light on college to turn green, while the light on Perkins is green?

College isn’t that bad. You can cut through the neighborhood via constitution, Bennington, and/or Congress. You can turn between the Walmart and Albertsons and come out by the Perkins Sonic.

Essen is the worst if you ask me.

Yes, and you still can't move unless you want to be in the middle of the intersection.

How is it “literally” a clusterfrick? There are groups of people fricking on College Drive?
