An annual report on the efficiency of state highway systems finds that Louisiana ranks 43rd, based on the amount of spending and the quality of roads and bridges. The report, released today by the Reason Foundation, a libertarian-leaning think tank, found that Louisiana scored low because of a high number of traffic fatalities and rural interstates in poor condition. The report, which also looks at traffic congestion and the quality of roads, is based on information provided by states from 2007. This is a slight drop for Louisiana, the state was ranked 40th in last year’s Reason report. North Dakota continued to hold the top spot, while Alaska was ranked as having the least effective state highway system. See the full report here.
