Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 56, § 1948.1. Purpose

The promotion of the tourism industry and the creation of business development opportunities in the state of Louisiana are significant factors in the overall economic development of the state. The Louisiana Byways Program is established to designate and develop educational, historical, recreational, cultural, natural, and scenic routes along Louisiana's highways. The Louisiana Byways Program is not intended to, and specifically does not, restrict the powers of local governments to regulate land uses along highways designated as Louisiana Byways nor the rights of private persons to develop, construct, and use real property and structures adjacent to such highways.
