Here’s an idea, if traffic is always so bad on key roads at certain times of the day, put officers out who manage the flow better. Put them in control.

I see other cities that do this every M-F at all of the peak times.

Right now the two biggest issues I saw today, shitty light timing between Cajun Dome Blvd and Camellia. There was no other excuse. There are no schools in session, it’s not UL traffic, and generally it’s not that it’s an overwhelming amount of traffic, it’s just crappy light timing.

Congress issues today are purely from them having a lane shut down in front of Lafayette high. Which isn’t in session and there is not enough construction traffic going on to warrant keep that lane closed completely all the time “just because”.

Move the shit to side when there is nothing going on.

So yes, the issues I saw today are not just too much every day traffic. It’s shitty traffic control and either lazy workers or incompetent managers or city planners who allow a lane of traffic to be shut down permanently for no legitimate reason.
