## Resource

New Orleans is officially saying goodbye to brake tags—no more stickers, no more tickets for missing ones. Starting now, the city has paused all new distributions, and by 2026, they’ll be completely gone. In their place? A statewide QR code system that lets police instantly access vehicle info via scan. While local inspection rules are still being aligned with state law, this tech upgrade aims to simplify compliance and modernize vehicle tracking. Other traffic violations? Still enforced as usual. It’s a major shift toward digital efficiency—and drivers will have to watch how it plays out over the next year.
