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 importance of marked crosswalks, flashing warning signals, and enhanced road surface markings to improve safety for pedestrians, particularly given the lack of such measures currently in place.

The resolution calls for the Department of Transportation and Development to submit a written report detailing the findings of the feasibility study to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways, and Public Works by August 1, 2026. It also notes that a rehabilitation project on LA-182 is set to begin in January 2025, but it does not include pedestrian safety improvements, underscoring the urgency of addressing these safety concerns in the area.
