The bill enacts a new provision, R.S. 9:2792.10, which addresses civil liability concerning pedestrians who illegally block roadways. It stipulates that such pedestrians will not have a cause of action against the operator of a motor vehicle for any injuries, death, loss, or damage resulting from the operator's actions, unless those actions are intentional. This provision is designed to protect vehicle operators who use force with their vehicles to retreat or escape from a pedestrian blocking the roadway, provided that the operator reasonably believes that they or their passengers are in immediate danger of serious harm.

The bill aims to clarify the legal protections for drivers in situations where they may need to act to avoid harm from pedestrians obstructing roadways. By establishing this limitation of action, the legislation seeks to reduce the potential for civil liability claims against drivers in these specific circumstances, thereby promoting safety and accountability on the roads.
