Atchafalaya Basin Speed Cameras?


put electrical tape on your licence plate to change any zero into 6, 9, or 8

then claim ignorance and kids must have done that if you ever get pulled over, they cannot prove otherwise

Was reading up on this last week. They will have cameras in between to warn you if you are crossing faster than allowed and give you the opportunity to reduce your speed before hitting the end.

I hope someone updates/bumps this thread when they get a ticket to show us who it comes from. If it's some out of state crap, I wish them luck in enforcing it.

I’ve driven through several toll plazas that do this.

The FL turnpike does it, but has a restaurant in the median every few miles. You can pull through, get a three-piece, spicy, and eat up enough time to not get a ticket.

A median is what people from New Orleans call a Nutria ground.

I was talking to my brother in law about this the other day....this seems ripe for some constitutional legality challenges.

I expect this law will makes its rounds in the court system before it ever goes into effect if it ever does.

I drive it everyday and plan on going 40mph. These are money hungry morons making this law. I really hope this equals gridlock on the bridge. I wonder if these tickets will apply to our legislators who use the bridge and drive above 80. More traffic fine equal higher insurance premiums as well. Great leadership we have in this state. We need a list of everyone that voted for this crap!! I’m done.

In the senate..all of them.

It was the President of the Senate Page Cortez's (R Lafayette) bill. Finally passed 33-0.

Perhaps it will slow the idiots down that speed and lessen the accident deaths on that stretch. Just a thought.

"Being that the new law [La. R.S. 32:57(J) and 268] will rely on cameras that will time how fast it takes a vehicle to get from one end of the basin to the other, motorists who cross the bridge in less than 18 minutes will receive a speeding ticket in the mail."



Which will promptly be ignored just like most other traffic camera tickets.

I know this is a joke, but there will be a ton of people going like 80 and absolutely slamming on their brakes at the end to avoid the ticket, causing more accidents in the long run.

No there won't.


This law is stupid beyond belief. I emailed my representative about it asking for a NO vote - got zero response, then realized she was a co-sponsor of the bill.

I fricking hate Louisiana. I have all the career pull to move, but can't really at this point due to wife's career and family.
