Visitor & Driver Tips

When approaching the facility, monitor your navigation closely along US-61 as traffic flows at 45–50 mph along Airline Highway; signal early and decelerate gradually before entering the lot apron. If visiting during weekday peak commute windows (7:30 AM–9:00 AM and 4:30 PM–6:00 PM), exercise extra caution when merging back onto Airline Highway or consider utilizing the signalized cross intersections nearby. As an open-air surface facility exposed to Louisiana sunshine and subtropical rain, using a windshield sunshade during summer months and keeping an umbrella handy is strongly recommended.
