Am I the only one that thinks that LSU not having normal frontage roads is a problem?

If you're talking about Texas frontage roads, they're not in most SEC states.

Im pretty sure you already had "the Aids"

What an ignorant post. Been in and around college Station and Bryant and your roads are no better than anywhere else. People in glass houses…

Your aids came from a Mason jar.

Texas is one gigantic traffic jam full of roads that are under construction with the dumbest mfers on earth driving on them. Y’all have a lot of lanes full of stopped vehicles. GTFO trying to brag about Texas roads.

A mixture of a high water table, soft soil, a large number of bridges to maintain, a low state gas tax rate, and a decade long federal funding gap due to LA not raising/enforcing the drinking age to 21 are contributing factors. But, yes, they are some of the shittiest roads in the states.

I remember a guy from Louisiana moving to Oklahoma when I was in high school in the 1970s. He claimed that it cost more to build a mile of highway in Louisiana than any other state.

I don't know if it was true or not... but if he claimed that I bet a lot of Louisianans believed it.

I have sat completely still for over an hour more times between Beaumont and Baytown than I ever have on the 2 lane basin bridge or anywhere in La. And I live in La.

The South

Frontage roads have advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is it removes traffic from the interstate, a disadvantage is you have to merge with traffic as you are getting off the interstate with cars many times merging from the frontage road into your lane. Another debatable disadvantage is that smaller cities tend to have most businesses and concentrated traffic along the interstate / frontage roads instead of branching out perpendicular to the interstate, thus limiting some potential growth because there is a limited amount of frontage. It makes smaller cities look like old small towns with a series of buildings parallel to the railroad before roads.

One interstate feature I love about Texas is their use of turnarounds at exits, allowing you to exit the interstate and do a u turn without having to go through traffic lights.
