10 Of The Most Annoying (And Dangerous) Things People Do In Lafayette Traffic

DJ Digital — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:59:55 +0000

Lafayette is a unique place that is literally oozing with culture. We work hard, we party harder, and there always seems to be a reason to celebrate.

Traffic Safety Reminder For Memorial Day

Dave Steel — Thu, 26 May 2011 19:18:36 +0000

From the Louisiana State Police, here's a reminder regarding the upcoming Memorial Day weekend and safety measures to consider when traveling.

The Memorial Day weekend is the "official" start of summer for many of us in Louisiana. As children finish their school year; families plan weekend outings; or we head out on vacation; the traffic on our roadways will increase. Unfortunately, with that increased traffic there is also a greater chance of being involved in a crash.
