Traffic procedures have been changed for fans leaving Tiger Stadium after home games, the LSU Athletic Department announced Wednesday in a news release.
All of these changes will be implemented for Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt.
Both lanes on River Road between the southernmost exits of the Levee Lots and Brightside Drive will flow south. Drivers in the left lane will be forced to turn east on Brightside, and right-lane drivers will have to continue south down River Road.
Any drivers who use the north exit of the Levee Lots will be forced to go north on River Road, and drivers who use the south exit will be forced to go south.
Drivers exiting the Hayfield Lot on Gourrier Avenue will be directed to go west to River Road. Both lanes will be contra-flowed to the west, and drivers must turn south on River Road. Any car in the Hayfield Lot wishing to go north will have to drive through the Levee Lots and use the northernmost exit of the lot.
Cars who park in the Alex Box Stadium lots will be directed east toward Nicholson Drive. Drivers in the right lane will be able to go straight to Burbank Drive or south on Nicholson, while drivers in the left lane can go straight to Burbank or north on Nicholson.
Traffic going south on Nicholson will not be contra-flowed this year because construction has ended on Burbank Drive.
All other traffic policies from the 2008 season will apply to the 2009 season, according to the news release.
