The new overpass has a posted speed of 45. this road has been posted 50/55 for past 40 yrs. with the road in not very good condition. Now that this short portion of the road has been widened to four lanes and very smooth, the speed limit has been lowered for this short stretch to 45mph. Is is needed, possibly! Is it equitable, considering the past 40 plus years and previous road conditions, NO!

Livingston Parish Motorcycle cops usually radar Linder Rd. off of South St., usually you cant see them until you get up on them.

Speed Limit is 25 mph. Sheriff Deputies volunteer to work overtime hours on weekends to give out tickets. Mostly motorcycle cops, they hide behind subdivision fences and pop out to flag you down. You will not see them until you almost run over them, because they will jump out in front of you. Set your cruise control. This 4.5 mile stretch of country road makes it difficult maintain a 25-30 mph speed for 7-9 minutes. The deputies know this and do not issue warnings.
