WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

Have you ever been traveling along an interstate system and observed a Trooper facing the opposite direction with emergency lights activated?

This is a technique used to warn motorists of slowed or stopped traffic ahead, which is called a traffic queue. By giving advanced warning to motorists, they are able to slow their speed to react to the traffic congestion ahead.

​On I-20 in Ouachita Parish, Troopers are providing advanced warning for construction crews working to improve our roadways.

​Please reduce your speed and use caution in all construction zones so these men and women can safely return to their families.
