Louisiana road conditions

If you wander around some areas of Dallas itself the city streets are lousy. The overall area does a fine job with upkeep of the major arteries.

The reason louisiana raised the drinking age to 21 was so they wouldnt lose fed money. So they never lost any money. That was 1997ish btw.

No.
LA leads the nation in environmental responsibility.

All our roads are built of the highest standards of biodegradable materials and design.

It's probably a combination of low gas tax, corrupt state government, poor substrate and heavy rainfall.

It's because of the levees. Remove them, and the roads will be sustained and brought back to their original state of tar and concreteness.

It's because most of the roads are built on ridges in the swamp. shite subsides, roads crack.

I promise that Jackson's roads are worse

Texas roads are tGOAT

The water table affects roads a deal here, not much to do with bad engineering or lack of funding. When soils are saturated with water, vs when soils dry out and soil particles collapse on each other causes a lot of stress on road infrastructure. The reason new orleans is prone to potholes is because the water table is so high that when soils under the roads dry out, the foundation on which the roads are constructed collapses bc much of Nola used to be cypress swamp. Texas has a more arid climate, which makes for a low water table and more stable foundation.

I used to live in NEPA, our roads here in the GBR area have nothing on PA. Their roads are truely horrible. The highways that go to hospitals seem to be the only ones maintained and resurfaced regularily.

But this does not excuse our horrible roads. For the older crowd that remember a 2 lane interstate and lights at every intersection on florida blvd we have come a long way
