House Resolution No. urges the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a feasibility study on implementing road safety measures and constructing new infrastructure along Louisiana Highway 182 (LA-182) from Interstate 10 (I-10) and Interstate 49 (I-49) to the intersection of East Pinhook Road. The resolution highlights the necessity of these improvements for both motorists and pedestrians, citing the high volume of traffic and pedestrian activity in the area, as well as alarming statistics regarding traffic fatalities and injuries. It emphasizes the need for enhanced visibility of crosswalks, installation of flashing warning signals, and better road surface markings to improve safety.

The resolution calls for the Department of Transportation and Development to submit a written report on its findings by August 1, 2026, detailing the potential for these safety enhancements. It notes that the current rehabilitation project on LA-182, set to begin in January 2025, does not address pedestrian safety, despite the significant risks present at the intersection of LA-182 and East Pinhook Road. The resolution aims to ensure that pedestrian safety is prioritized in future infrastructure planning and development in the area.
