Preserving evidence around the Claiborne corridor
For a crash near Claiborne Avenue or Interstate 10, record the exact street, intersection, lane, and direction of travel rather than only the neighborhood name. Preserve any photographs, witness details, and available incident reports. The City of New Orleans describes the Claiborne corridor beneath Interstate 10 in its public project information. That description provides geographic context, not a finding about fault or crash frequency.
