Driving Tips for Louisiana
Driving a rental car in Louisiana is a unique experience, from bustling cities to scenic bayous. Keep these essential tips in mind for a safe and enjoyable trip:
- Speed Limits: Urban areas typically have a speed limit of 25–35 mph, while rural highways allow speeds up to 65 mph. On interstates, limits can reach 70 mph. Always adhere to posted signs, especially when driving near school zones or construction areas.
- Parking: In cities like New Orleans and Baton Rouge, public garages and street parking are widely available. Free parking is common in suburban and rural areas. Be cautious of residential zones, where parking may be restricted.
- Weather Considerations: Louisiana’s subtropical climate means heavy rain and thunderstorms are common. Be ready to use your vehicle’s wipers and lights and reduce speed during wet conditions.
- Bridge Crossings: The state’s many rivers and bayous mean frequent bridge crossings. Be prepared for occasional traffic slowdowns, especially on major routes like the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.
