Visitor & Driver Tips

Due to scheduled morning court sessions, peak arrival hours generally occur between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM on weekdays; arriving slightly early ensures the best selection of spots close to court building entrances. Remember to note your vehicle license plate number before leaving your car, as mobile payment systems or on-site pay kiosks often require plate entry for verification. For weekend festivals or community events along Huey P. Long Avenue, street closures can occasionally redirect traffic, so accessing Derbigny Street via 4th Street or 5th Street is recommended.
