TRANSPORTATION DEPT: Urges and requests that the Department of Transportation and Development to install left turn caution light signals at certain intersections
This resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to add left-turn caution lights at four specific intersections in St. Bernard Parish. The bill cites federal data indicating that left turns are involved in a significant portion of traffic accidents to support this safety request. It specifically targets locations in Chalmette and Arabi where current traffic signals lack these additional caution features. The measure does not mandate the installation but serves as a formal request to the state agency to improve road safety for drivers in those areas.
