HR 208 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

HIGHWAYS: Urges and requests that the Department of Transportation and Development to construct a roundabout on Louisiana Highway 1019

This legislative resolution asks the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to build a roundabout at the intersection of Louisiana Highway 1019 and Old Louisiana Highway 16. The bill cites safety data suggesting roundabouts reduce severe collisions and encourages drivers to slow down, which is particularly relevant near the nearby Live Oak Junior High School. By formally requesting this infrastructure change, the resolution aims to improve traffic safety without mandating the construction.
