flag Louisiana’s state highways are twice as deadly as the national average due to aging roads, flooding, high speeds, and insufficient safety measures.

flag State highways in Louisiana are significantly more dangerous than in other states, with a fatality rate nearly double the national average. flag Investigators point to a combination of factors including aging infrastructure, limited funding for maintenance, high speeds on rural roads, and frequent flooding that damages road surfaces. flag Additionally, lower driver enforcement and fewer safety features like guardrails contribute to the increased risk. flag Despite ongoing efforts, improvements have been slow due to budget constraints and political challenges.
