Louisiana Highway 140 (LA 140) is a state highway located in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. It runs in an east–west direction from U.S. Highway 425 (US 425) in Log Cabin to a junction with U.S. Highway 165 (US 165) and LA 599 in Bonita. The route provides the most direct connection between Bastrop, the parish seat, and northbound US 165, which heads north from Bonita toward the Arkansas state line. US 165 takes a more indirect routing, heading eastward out of Bastrop before turning north at Mer Rouge. Providing both a north–south and an east–west function, the signage for LA 140 does not carry directional banners. The route is known locally as Old Bonita Road. ==Route description== From the west, LA 140 begins at an intersection with US 425 in a rural area known as Log Cabin, northeast of Bastrop. It proceeds northeast along Old Bonita Road, and the area gradually becomes sparsely populated over the next several miles. After making a brief curve to the north, LA 140 intersects LA 591 (Old Berlin Highway) at a point known as Twin Oaks. LA 591 heads north along Bayou Bartholomew toward the Arkansas state line. Soon after resuming its northeastern course, the surroundings abruptly change from thick forest to open farmland. LA 140 curves due east briefly and intersects LA 599 (Sisson Highway), which makes a long semi-circle before meeting LA 140 again at its final destination of Bonita. LA 140 then curves back to the northeast and later, it intersects LA 833 (Jones Cutoff Road). LA 140 turns due east while LA 833 heads northeast to US 165 at Jones, bypassing Bonita.〔〔 LA 140 then curves southeast into the small village of Bonita. At Railroad Street, the highway makes a sharp turn to the south to cross the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks at grade. LA 140 ends shortly afterward at US 165 (Bonita Avenue) opposite a second intersection with LA 599 (Rosenwald Road). US 165 heads northeast toward the Arkansas state line and the city of Wilmot, Arkansas.〔〔〔 LA 140 is classified as a rural major collector by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD). Average daily traffic volume in 2013 is reported as 3,800 vehicles between the western terminus and Twin Oaks, decreasing to 810 to the junction with LA 833, and again to 260 from there to the eastern terminus.〔〔 LA 140 is an undivided two-lane highway for its entire length with a posted speed limit of .〔 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 140」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
