The resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to install proper signage indicating a merging lane at Exit 159 on the Essen Lane ramp of I-10 West. Currently, there is no indication of the merge, which poses a safety hazard for drivers unfamiliar with the area, often forcing them to make abrupt lane changes. This lack of signage has contributed to numerous accidents on this stretch of road.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of clear and visible indications before the merge point to alert drivers in advance, allowing them to adjust their driving accordingly. By implementing proper signage, the resolution aims to enhance safety, reduce traffic congestion, and minimize the risk of accidents, ultimately improving the overall driving experience on this interstate route.
