I'm still going to hit traffic?
You should be alright as long as you stay off of I-10, I-12, and the surface streets. You may want to avoid I-110 as well. Other than those few issues, you should be GTG.

Yes, unless you get past downtown BR by 4:45.
I've done the BR to New Orleans/New Orleans to BR drive more than I'd like to admit.
Do pretty much anywhere your tires touch pavement.
You know when I was a kid I distinctly remember being promised a jet pack by now. But something tells me it would just move the problem to the air.
When you pass through NO.. hit 310 to boutte then take 90 to lafayette and get back on 10W.
It's insane.. even during off peak hours, the simplest breakdown anywhere in BR starts a domino effect. A breakdown on I10 bridge over Ms River bridge is curtains. Lol.. even worse and wreck on the Atchafalaya bridge between BR and Henderson.
Anytime I leave new orleans to head to lafayette , I take 90. The mileage is similar.. the time is similar as well
This is insane. I should be going through B.R. at about 0545hrs. I thought only deer and duck hunters were up at that hour in Louisiana. Oh, and people on their way home from the French Quarter.
Everyone going to every hospital, engineering firm, breakfast restaurant, grocery store, retail workers, etc...
There is a lot of stuff open at 7 am in Baton Rouge. All those workers need to get there early.
There were many times when the guy in front or behind me was on the same path heading to BR or New Orleans. Lots of people make that commute to the refineries all along that way.
In my own defense.
I am semi-retired. The LGS I work part time at is less than 10 minutes from my house.
Oh well. Once I get past B.R. I'm really going to enjoy this drive.
The drive between BR and Lafayette can be just as bad. You will be fine once you're past Lafayette.
If going to Dallas from BR, it's much faster to take 190 to I49, then in Shreveport, take I20 west from there.
I49 is really not a bad drive at all once the speed limit hits 75.
I20 is a little annoying once you get to Kilgore & Tyler as there are Troopers everywhere running radar.
I mean you aren't wrong...but then you have to rent a car if you want to have a car when you're there....or know someone with a car there who would be willing to let you use their car.
