Even if it never flooded before, a major underpass like that is a natural catch basin for water in a flash flood.

It is reasonable to assume there would be a situation where you would need markings telling you how deep the water is there.


I don’t necessarily agree with suing anyone over this but I think she has a case.

It has flooded before. Once that I can remember in the last 2-3 years.

It is unreasonable to require DOTD or the City Parish to take measures to warn about something that has never happened before, with no indication of it ever happening.

That would be like requiring stop lights be installed for an intersection that hasn't been built yet.
