Louisiana Highway 85 (LA 85) is a state highway located in Iberia Parish, Louisiana. It runs in an east–west direction from LA 83 in Lydia to LA 182 in Jeanerette. The route connects the town of Jeanerette with the rural area along LA 83, which serves the Port of New Iberia and leads to the salt domes of Weeks Island. It is also one of two highways which connect the town to U.S. Highway 90 (US 90), the principal highway through the Teche region and the future corridor of Interstate 49 (I-49). ==Route description== From the west, LA 85 begins at an intersection with LA 83 between New Iberia and Weeks Island in an area known as Lydia. It proceeds east along Patoutville Road through a residential neighborhood. After , the route leaves Lydia, and the surroundings abruptly change to rural farmland with scattered residential development. later, LA 85 turns to the northeast and intersects LA 673, which heads south a short distance to Patoutville. Shortly afterward, LA 85 passes through an interchange with US 90 (the future corridor of I-49), which connects to Lafayette on the northwest and Morgan City on the southeast. northeast of US 90, LA 85 intersects LA 674 (East Admiral Doyle Drive) and turns southeast, continuing the route of that highway to the southwest corner of Jeanerette. It then turns northeast onto Hubertville Road while LA 668 continues the route southeast to another connection with US 90. After , LA 85 crosses the BNSF/Union Pacific Railroad tracks at grade and enters the residential area of Jeanerette. The route ends seven blocks later at an intersection with LA 182 (Main Street), the principal highway through town. LA 182 parallels Bayou Teche northwest toward New Iberia and southeast toward Franklin.〔〔〔 The route is classified by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD) as a rural major collector from the western terminus to LA 668, the portion of the route flanking US 90. It is classified as an urban collector from LA 668 to Martin Luther King Dr., a local road, and an urban minor arterial from there to its eastern terminus.〔 The average daily traffic volume in 2013 is reported as 1,020 between the western terminus and US 90; increasing to 3,400 between US 90 and LA 668; and 3,700 between LA 668 and the eastern terminus.〔 The route has a posted speed limit of within Lydia, increasing to for the rural segment between Lydia and Jeanerette. The speed limit is then reduced to approaching Martin Luther King Drive in Jeanerette and finally to through the residential section of town between the railroad tracks and LA 182.〔 LA 85 is an undivided, two-lane highway for its entire route.〔 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 85」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
