Louisiana Highway 138 (LA 138) is a state highway located in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. It runs in a north–south direction from LA 134 south of Collinston to a junction with U.S. Highway 165 (US 165), U.S. Highway 425 (US 425), and LA 2 in Mer Rouge. A largely rural route, LA 138 connects the small villages of Collinston and Mer Rouge, located northeast of Monroe. Its southern terminus (LA 134) leads to Monroe in neighboring Ouachita Parish, as well as the village of Oak Ridge in southern Morehouse Parish. The northern terminus is located at the east end of the concurrency of US 165 and US 425. The two highways split toward Monroe and the Arkansas state line, respectively, after heading west into Bastrop, the parish seat. ==Route description== From the south, LA 138 begins at an intersection with LA 134 (Coulee Swamp Road) in southern Morehouse Parish. LA 134 connects to the city of Monroe on the southwest and the village of Oak Ridge on the east. LA 138 proceeds northward along Doss Highway through rural farmland and crosses the Union Pacific Railroad tracks at a point known as Windsor. later, LA 138 intersects LA 554 (Perryville Road), which heads west to US 165 between Monroe and Bastrop. Here, the highway curves to the northeast and heads into Collinston. LA 138 runs through Collinston on Main Street, first curving due east, then making a zigzag at Keller Drive. Two blocks later, LA 138 reaches the UPRR tracks and turns to the north, passing by the city hall and museum. It then makes a second crossing over the UPRR and intersects LA 593 at the north end of town. While LA 593 heads northwest toward Bastrop, the parish seat, LA 138 curves to the northeast and soon begins to parallel the UPRR tracks. Heading through rural farmland once again, LA 138 intersects LA 3079 (Charles Dickerson Lane), a short connector to LA 593. later, LA 138 intersects LA 3051 (Grabault Road), another connection to Bastrop. Continuing northeast, LA 138 passes by a local school, followed by a succession of industrial plants just outside Mer Rouge.〔〔〔 LA 138 enters Mer Rouge on South 14th Street, still running alongside the UPRR tracks. The route proceeds for before ending at an intersection with Davenport Avenue, the village's main street, which is part of US 165, US 425, and LA 2. From this intersection, the three highways proceed west concurrently into Bastrop and split toward Bonita (US 165 north), Oak Ridge (US 425 south), and Oak Grove (LA 2 east).〔〔〔 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 through Collinston and through Mer Rouge. Average daily traffic volume in 2013 ranges between 770 and 940 vehicles from the southern terminus through Collinston. The segment between Collinston and Mer Rouge has a high count of 4,300 vehicles, falling off to 1,480 through Mer Rouge to the northern terminus.〔 LA 138 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 138」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
