Avoiding New Orleans on I10
We are going from California to Florida on Interstate 10 next week and as I look at the route it appears that taking I12 in Baton Rouge would be a good idea to avoid all the traffic around New Orleans...

I always take I-12 if not actually going to New Orleans, but my experience, usually hitting Baton Rouge late afternoon, is that route can also be slow going, with backups at the interchanges making it difficult to get into the correct lanes. The greater part of the New Orleans-Baton Rouge metropolitan area is along the I-12 corridor, B-R to Slidell and north.
