A CONCURRENT RESOLUTI ON
To urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to install a red light
at the intersection of North Acadia Road on Louisiana Highway 648 (Percy Brown
Road) in Lafourche Parish and to reduce the speed along this route.
WHEREAS, numerous requests have been submitted to the Department of
Transportation and Development by the people of Thibodaux for a traffic signal at the
intersection of Percy Brown Road (Louisiana Highway 648); and
WHEREAS, traffic has been increasing in this area and, as indicated by recent deaths
and numerous traffic accidents, a traffic light is desperately needed to protect drivers passing
through this busy intersection; and
WHEREAS, there is a subdivision on the opposite side of the roadway, and it is
difficult to cross over to the subdivision; and
WHEREAS, this subdivision contributes significantly to the traffic congestion of that
area; and
WHEREAS, on this route is a ninety degree curve on the road; and
WHEREAS, in order for motor vehicles to accommodate this curve the speed should
be reduced from fifty-five miles per hour to forty-five miles per hour; and
WHEREAS, preventive steps, such as erecting a traffic signal and reducing the
speed limit along this route should diminish the current public safety hazard for this growing
community.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
urge and request the Department of Transportation and Development to install a red light at
the intersection of North Acadia Road on Louisiana Highway 648 (Percy Brown Road) in
Lafourche Parish and to reduce the speed on this route to forty-five miles per hour. ENROLLEDHCR NO. 29
