Welcome to New Orleans
When transitioning into the New Orleans area, remember: The more you plan in advance, the easier the move. The next few pages of this publication offer suggestions and information geared to make the transition smoother. The Fleet and Family Support Center, 504-678-7569; the Navy Family Housing Office, 504-678-3280; and the Household Goods Office, 504-678-9820; are all available to assist you.

All vehicles must have a valid state vehicle registration and proof of automobile insurance to access the installation. All drivers must have a valid driver's license in their possession while operating a motor vehicle on board the base.
BASE DRIVING REGULATIONS
The speed limit on board NAS JRB New Orleans is 25 mph; any exceptions are posted. The speed limit in all family housing is 10 mph, and the speed limit through alleyways between housing units and cul-de-sacs is 5 mph. All speed limits are strictly enforced.
Seat Belts/Child Restraints — All Louisiana state traffic laws, Title 32, are enforced on board NAS JRB New Orleans. Louisiana state law and the Department of the Navy require the use of seat belts at all times while operating or riding in a vehicle. State law mandates that children younger than 1 year or who weigh less than 20 pounds must be in a rear-facing child safety seat; 1 through 4 years or 20 to 39 pounds in a forward-facing child safety seat; and 4 through 6 years or 40 to 60 pounds in a child booster seat. Children 6 and older who weigh more than 60 pounds may use adult restraints.
Traffic Violations — The base operates on a traffic points system for issuing Armed Forces Traffic Tickets 1408s and monetary fines for U.S. Magistrate Citations 1805s. Persons whose driving privileges are suspended or revoked (for one violation or an accumulation of 12 traffic points within 12 consecutive months or 18 traffic points within 24 consecutive months) will be notified in writing through official channels, as per OPNAVINST 11200.5D. Magistrate Tickets 1805s are also issued incorporating monetary fines for traffic violations and mandatory appearances in Federal Magistrate Court in the city of New Orleans.

Transportation of weapons and ammunition is not authorized on base unless the weapon is already registered and you are taking it to your residence. All weapons must be under the control of a person 21 or older and must not be left unattended at any time.
