Parish Roads

Parish Roads in Louisiana are controlled and maintained by the respective parishes in which they reside. These parish roads are found in every parish of Louisiana. However, most are not signed, and few intersect with major highways.

Signage

Most parish roads signed by the Louisiana DOTD are up to MUTCD standards. However, parish roads signed by the local police juries are usually weathered and in bad condition.
