House Resolution No. by Representative Chassion urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a feasibility study on enhancing road safety measures and infrastructure along Louisiana Highway 182 (LA-182), particularly from the intersections of Interstate 10 (I-10) and Interstate 49 (I-49) to East Pinhook Road. The resolution highlights the need for improvements such as pedestrian crosswalks, an overpass, flashing warning signals, and more visible road surface markings, citing the significant pedestrian traffic in the area and the alarming increase in traffic-related fatalities and injuries.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of these safety measures, referencing recommendations from the National Association of City Transportation Officials and the Federal Highway Administration regarding crosswalk visibility and pedestrian safety. It notes that the current infrastructure lacks adequate pedestrian crossings and signage, contributing to a high number of accidents. The Department of Transportation and Development is required to submit a written report on its findings to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways, and Public Works by August 1, 2026.
