The huge lights over the 110/190 stack interchange by the airport have been out for at least a year.


It’s all a symptom of our overall decay.
If the administration cares about a safe, clean parish we would see things getting fixed.

Instead we notice the street lights are out snd little old ladies doing their best to pick up trash.

The leaving the scene is the crime obviously.

If I'm crossing the street in the middle of wherever, I know I don't gave the right of way

It’s a crap shoot on which traffic cams even function throughout the city in order to obtain a plate ID.

Contact entergy. They're pretty good about addressing lights in an area


Is there a certain number to call? I’d bet most here know of issues.

The state of our infrastructure is such an embarrassment. Not just Baton Rouge, but the whole state.

Pavement quality, stripes and markings, lighting, and the complete lack of highway infrastructure is so frustrating.

It would be nice if they kept up with crosswalks and repainted them every once in awhile.

That and the little dotted lines at left turns.

Why is a 44 yr old walking in that area? It is a college housing area

Should have known better not to walk out in traffic at that hour at that age

Let’s not victim blame here. The a-hole who hit this man and left the scene is the issue here.

Plenty of places around there to be going to eat and drink.

They should’ve known better than to be a POS and hit him and leave…

I know 3 35 and up divorced guys living there or recently moved out of there. The houses were priced right and they can use as an investment once they move on

Holy shite that is awful. Infuriating there are drivers like that. I've seen it in the morning in school zones even.
