Louisiana SB138 revises speed enforcement measures, removes specific school zone markings, and repeals exemptions for certain municipalities.
Louisiana SB138 amends existing speed enforcement laws by removing specific requirements for school zone markings and updating compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The bill eliminates the need for a two-foot-wide yellow stripe and 12-inch white lettering on school zone signs, instead requiring markings to comply with the MUTCD. Additionally, it repeals exemptions for certain municipalities from using automated speed enforcement devices on interstate highways, ensuring uniform application of speed enforcement measures across the state. Effective August 1, 2026.
