Louisiana Highway 125 (LA 125) is a state highway located in La Salle Parish, Louisiana. It runs in a southwest to northeast direction from U.S. Highway 165 (US 165) in Tullos to a second junction with US 165 northeast of Olla. The entire route parallels US 165, one of the state's major north–south highways, between Alexandria and Monroe. LA 125 passes through the small communities of Tullos, Urania, and Olla, whose centers are bypassed by US 165. In Tullos, the route intersects US 84, an east–west highway connecting to the nearby parish seats of Winnfield and Jena. Though the route serves an overall north–south function, signage for LA 125 does not carry directional banners. LA 125 was the original route of US 165 through La Salle Parish. Some junctions along the route include signage identifying it as the "historic route" of the highway. ==Route description== From the southwest, LA 125 begins at an intersection with US 165 just inside Tullos, a small town in northwestern La Salle Parish. US 165 connects to Alexandria on the south and Monroe on the north. LA 125 briefly proceeds northwest along South Main Street. At Fullerton Road, the highway turns northeast and continues along South Main Street to the town's main junction, an intersection with US 84. US 84 connects to Jena, the parish seat, as well as Winnfield, the parish seat of neighboring Winn Parish. LA 125 continues northeast along Main Street, exiting Tullos and intersecting LA 125 Spur, which connects to the parallel US 165. Soon afterward, LA 125 curves to the north briefly before resuming its northeastern course across a bridge over Chickasaw Creek. The highway then approaches and begins to run parallel to the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) tracks into the town of Urania. Here, LA 125 intersects LA 3259 (East Hardtner Drive), the town's connection to US 165. LA 125 turns northwest, briefly continuing the route of LA 3259 across the UPRR tracks before curving northeast onto Tannehill Drive. The highway continues for through a residential area, at which point it crosses the town limits at Pentecostal Church Road. Shortly afterward, LA 125 passes by a large lumber mill.〔〔〔 later, LA 125 intersects LA 124, and the two highways begin a concurrency into the town of Olla. Here, the roadway rejoins the railroad tracks and becomes known as Front Street. Reaching the town center, LA 125 intersects LA 127 (Central Avenue), another connection to Jena. While LA 125 proceeds northeast along the railroad, LA 124 crosses the tracks via Central Avenue, ending the concurrency with LA 125. After several blocks, Olla's historic commercial buildings disappear, and the surroundings become rural once again. past the town limit, LA 125 passes through a point known as Standard, where it makes a sharp curve to the opposite side of the UPRR tracks. The route continues northeast for a final , where it crosses into Caldwell Parish and immediately rejoins US 165.〔〔〔 The route is classified as a rural major collector by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD). The posted speed limit is generally between points, reduced to or through town. Average daily traffic volume in 2013 is reported as 850 vehicles for the majority of the route, running from US 84 in Tullos to Standard. The southern and northern ends of the route have lower counts of 550 and 570 vehicles, respectively.〔 LA 125 is an undivided, two-lane highway for its entire length.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louisiana Highway 125」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
