Why are there so many inoperable street lights along Louisiana's highways?

And almost none of them that do work have been converted to LED....

Because Entergy is responsible for maintaining them. And Entergy is arguably just as hopeless as LaDOTD.

Because fixing things that are broken is not very Louisiana.

Because those tax dollars are better spent giving stuff away to people who can fend for themselves

There is a way to report an outage on Entergy's website. I've reported some before, but they never really get repaired. If they do, it takes years to see anything done.
I'm not exaggerating on that either. The overhead lights along the I-110/Airline stack interchange were out for at least a year.

Among other reasons they're often intentionally disconnected at construction sites. Which is basically half the state at any given time.
Also led streetlights suck almost as bad as led headlights.

Because our process for notifying the public entity in charge is complicated. Or nobody tells them.
I've had a good bit of success on Baton Rouge's 311 website for public services.

In Jxn, MS, meth heads are blamed for stealing the copper out of them.

Infrastructure in general has crumbled in Louisiana in the past 20 years... and, considering the state of things before, that says a lot.

I mean, you have headlights, right?

Let’s just start with getting some asphalt on our roads first…

An insurance adjustor mentioned to me that La DOTD spends over $1 million a year just repairing the torn up guardrails in the 5 parish area of Baton Rouge. Sometimes a guardrail is repaired and the next weekend a drunk driver will take out the just repaired guardrail.
Same with the light poles. A drunk will take out a pole on a Friday night and it knocks out several lights around it. Supply chain issues make it hard to replace the light fixtures.
And the crack heads steal the wiring. Downtown next to the Federal Court house homeless folks had pulled the wiring out of a traffic light box so the could charge up their phones.

The answer is in the question. 2nd to last word.

Because there aren’t enough Poles to change the light bulbs.

Questioning a Louisiana public service?

There is a street light on my road that is the old type with the open dome. It flickered and tried to light at sundown but would eventually just fade to darkness.
I read this post and located the place on Entergy's website to report that it is out. I figured I would track how long it would take for them to do something, if anything at all.
Lo and behold, less than twenty four hours later, while I was sipping my morning coffee an Entergy truck pulled up and an employee got out and changed the bulb. It works again and the extra light and security is nice.
It wasn't what I expected, but I will have to give credit where credit is due, they were actually on top of that one.

Because the people of the state are equally inoperable.
