Dear Mr. Cheramie:

Your inquiry of recent date addressed to Attorney General William J. Guste, Jr. has been directed to me for attention and reply.

You ask the following question:

Whether or not the Town of Golden Meadow may place speed bumps to regulate traffic on its public streets?

Subject to the limitations expressed previously in our Opinion Number 77-158 dated February 10, 1977, copy enclosed, and under the provisions particularly of R.S. 32:41 the Town of Golden Meadow may employ the use of speed bumps in order to protect the public safety.

Sincerely yours,

WILLIAM J. GUSTE, JR. ATTORNEY GENERAL
