 Louisiana Highway shield |

| State: | Louisiana Highway X (LA X) |
|---|---|
| Interstates: | Interstate X (I-X) |
| US Routes: | U.S. Highway X (US X) |
| Notes: | (1) Numbered highways are generally state-maintained.
(2) In 2008 the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development began replacing the green-and-white shield. As these signs age, they are being replaced by the same silhouette design, but the new signs have a black background, white silhouette, and black letters and numbers. On the new shield there is no frame outline (currently a green line border, as above). |
