Those flashing police lights on I-10 or I-49 may not be a speed trap—they’re part of a traffic safety tactic designed to prevent wrecks. Here’s how it works (and why it matters).
Louisiana law enforcement officials say two crashes happened in the same area in the span of just a few minutes, leading to a tragedy on an interstate roadway.
Louisiana roads now rank 40th in the United States. In 2011 the state was ranked 21st. The drop in the states ranking is said to be due to a drop in maintenance spending for the states roads.
It was 2 o’clock in the morning when a car went speeding past a Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s deputy on Interstate 10 about two miles west of Sulphur. At first, maybe it looked like a typical late night speeder, but according to the CPSO, nothing about this traffic violation was normal.
