Louisiana Speed Limits

I know this has been discussed before but why can’t our state increase the rural speed limits to 70/75 like our neighbors to the west?
We have areas with good roads with vast nothingness but have to go 55.
Is speeding ticket revenue that important to our state?
It was quite depressing coming off from A&M today and the speed limit back to 55 once I crossed Toledo Bend.

No, but it tends to be incredibly important to the local municipalities, unfortunately.

One of these is correct

Those 55 zones are just a suggestion, not mandatory.

i49 is 75 and while interstate, it is rural, lol. But I agree alot of the good 4 lanes have towns with endless redlights you have to stop from 65 to 45-50.
The real issue is the non law enforcement guy posted up in Monroe with a radar and taking pictures of plates and sending a non-law enforcement ticket that they claim you have to pay or it will be turned over to a collection agency (ultimately messing with people's credit). No way that is legal, and I could be wrong but I haven't heard if anyone has tried to bring that to court yet.
i20 is basically a TX speedway. aLways tons of TX plates and they drive like they're on i20 in TX (~85-90).
ETA: There are a some good roads in CenLA and NorthLA and SouthLA. 84 being 4 land would be great but certain parishes will never let that happen. Every state has bad roads. Our interstate system is just fricked.

Earheart Expressway (when there's no construction) is a three lane highway akin to I10. The speed limit is 50 mph. It's absolutely ridiculous. And a prime hunting ground for State Troopers.

The more tickets you can write equal more cops and cop toys. Louisiana is a shite show. Taxing the driver who is getting to and from work.

Yes, and it's the only reason. Bunch of crooks using LEO to collect revenue.
