41. Will carpools and vanpools have a priority line through or around during construction?
42. Why wouldn’t it be more practical to have police on motorcycles monitor any accidents and assist with moving vehicles to the side of the road
43. Why do we not fine people like Florida does if they run out of gas on the top of the bridge? Or fined for not moving their vehicle off to safety and the side of the road on the interstate going through Baton Rouge?
44. Why do we not fine people if they do not move their car regardless of the condition to the side of the road to allow traffic to pass on the interstate?
47. Why do we not have the police monitoring the dozens of DOT cameras ready to respond to that any accidents on the interstate?
49. Why do the wrecker companies divide the bridge work at the parish line rather than a more common sense approach of those that are eastbound be serviced by East Baton Rouge Parish and those that are westbound be serviced by West Baton Rouge Parish wreckers?
