So what does that mean? Checkpoint at the Sabine river. Truckers etc allowed through, but are people fleeing N.O. turned back, or just told to come on in but self quarantine for 14 days (0% will do this)?

Don't know how they can enforce this without a complete tie up of traffic along the border.

They know most of these things are impossible to police, the idea is you get a large % that will comply and that's better than nothing.

Based on every trip I've ever taken to Louisiana, this should be official state policy all the time

It's not hard to shut most major inroads out of LA down. A trooper at pleasure island(87 I think), two on I10, one on 12, and you've shut everything south of Rayburn down.

Is it just for people from New Orleans, or from the whole state? I have a friend that needs to return her grandchildren to their parents that live in New Mexico and they were going to meet half-way.

It's the whole state. Said TSP will stop folks crossing into Texas from every road out of Louisiana. I agree no one will comply with quarantine if they actually make it here. I paid close attention as my elderly father is in Louisiana.

Yikes. Most of the people around me are staying put. Our yards look REALLY nice - been plenty of time to edge and weed eat. It hasn't gotten that bad in Baton Rouge yet, but it appears to be on its way. Poor New Orleans, though.

So my wife has to travel to alexandria to help move her parents from shreveport. When she comes back, they will just tell her to self quarantine? Are they turning people back?

I feel bad for the troopers who have to have conversations with everyone coming out of LA. If this virus aerosolizes easily, I am sure it is floating around in the cab of a car driving down the freeway for two hours with the windows rolled up. Sticking you head anywhere close to that window to explain the quarantine can't be safe.

I saw cops directing traffic away from an area close to where a live. Every damn person felt the need to stop and ask the cop a question. Of course she had to stick her head close to the car window to hear the driver. That can't be safe.

Officer: "State the nature of your business in Texas."
Boudreaux: "Jus goin ta see mah uncle Charlie in Houston."
Officer: "Pursuant to Texas Governor Abbott's executive order regarding road travel from Louisiana to Texas I hereby notify you that you are required to self quarantine for 14 days."
Boudreaux: "uh...whatever you say officer."
Officer: "Promise?"
Boudreaux: "Cross my heart & stick some boudin in mah eye."
Officer: "OK, you're free to continue on."

The idea is it prevents a certain % of people from doing it. They know it's not going to stop everyone (or even most).

I know people right now leaving New York to drive down to Texas.
