HIGHWAYS: Urges and requests the Department of Transportation and Development to conduct a traffic study to evaluate adding turn lanes onto Louisiana Highway 1024
This resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to study whether adding turn lanes to Louisiana Highway 1024 would improve traffic flow and safety. The request is based on findings that dedicated turn lanes can reduce accidents and delays caused by conflicts between vehicles turning and those moving straight through intersections. If the study finds the project feasible, the department must submit a written report of its findings to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works before January 1, 2027.

MINOR
The bill transitioned from an 'Engrossed' draft to the final 'Enrolled' version, which is the official text sent to the Governor for signature. The substantive policy content, including the request for a traffic study on Louisiana Highway 1024 and the deadline for the report, remained unchanged. The primary differences are formatting updates, such as removing the legislative services digest and adjusting header layouts.
TECHNICAL
Removed the 'Digest' section, which is a non-binding summary prepared by legislative services and does not constitute law.
Updated document headers to reflect the final 'Enrolled' status and removed the 'Engrossed' designation.
Adjusted page numbering and spacing to align with the final enrolled format.
