The resolution urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to enhance road safety by installing left turn caution light signals at specific intersections in St. Bernard Parish. It highlights the dangers associated with left turns, which account for a significant percentage of car accidents, and identifies four intersections that have been deemed particularly hazardous for drivers making left turns. These intersections include locations on Paris Road, West Judge Perez Drive, and West St. Bernard Highway, all of which currently lack the necessary caution signals.
By implementing these left turn caution light signals, the resolution aims to improve safety for motorists, especially in areas with high volumes of industrial and commercial traffic. The House of Representatives calls for the Department of Transportation and Development to take action on this matter and requests that a copy of the resolution be sent to the department's secretary for further consideration.
