2026 Regular Session
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 96
BY REPRESENTATIVE ADAMS AND SENATOR BARROW
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
To urge and request the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, office of motor
vehicles (OMV), as a means of promoting public safety, to provide its customers
with existing roundabout educational materials prepared by the Louisiana
Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD).
WHEREAS, roundabouts are one-way, circular intersections designed to improve
safety and efficiency for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians; and
WHEREAS, the DOTD has increasingly utilized roundabouts throughout the state
as traffic control solutions and has constructed or initiated numerous roundabout projects
across multiple municipalities; and
WHEREAS, roundabouts have been shown to significantly improve traffic flow,
reduce congestion, and decrease the severity and numerosity of crashes; and
WHEREAS, safe navigation of roundabouts requires drivers to understand specific
rules and behaviors, including yielding to traffic and pedestrians, reducing speed when
entering, and properly signaling when exiting; and
WHEREAS, despite the increasing presence of roundabouts in Louisiana, many
drivers remain unfamiliar with how to properly navigate them, which may lead to unsafe
driving conditions; and
WHEREAS, the DOTD has developed educational materials, including brochures
and instructional guides, to inform the public about proper roundabout usage; and
WHEREAS, dissemination of such educational materials by the OMV to its
customers would increase public awareness and knowledge of roundabouts which would
improve driving conditions in roundabouts across the state, further enhancing their positive
safety and efficiency benefits.
