House Resolution No. urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a study on traffic conditions along Louisiana Highway 21, specifically from the intersection with Highway 10 in Bogalusa to the state line. The resolution highlights the long-discussed need for a four-lane expansion of the highway, which would improve access to Interstate 12 and serve as an additional hurricane evacuation route. It emphasizes the importance of this expansion for alleviating traffic congestion and enhancing safety, particularly for schools located along the highway, such as Varnado High School.

The resolution calls for the Department to make recommendations regarding the four-lane expansion and the addition of a turning lane to improve safety and efficiency on this high-speed roadway. A report detailing the findings of the study is to be submitted to the House and Senate Committees on Transportation, Highways, and Public Works by August 1, 2025. The resolution aims to ensure that while the expansion brings benefits to motorists, necessary precautions are taken to prevent potential safety hazards, particularly in school zones.
