The electronic Raman effect has been studied in differently doped single crystals of La_2−xSr_xCuO₄ (LSCO). At low energies and temperatures new structures indicating a very high conductivity are found for which there is no evidence in Bi2212 and Y123. In the same temperature range a related low-energy mode is found in the optical conductivity. For the selection rules and for similarities with ladder compounds we conclude that the features are an indication of incipient charge ordering and 1D conduction. The correlation length of these stripes is at least of the order of the electronic mean free path in LSCO. The direction of the 1D structures is along the diagonals and the principle axes for x=0.02 and x=0.10, respectively.
