Bill > HB3576

This bill requires the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to install and maintain highway signs directing travelers to the Bishop Arts District, located in the North Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas, at specific highway exits by September 1, 2026. The signs will be placed at four specific locations: the exit for Colorado Boulevard from westbound Interstate 30, the exits for Sylvan Avenue from both eastbound and westbound Interstate 30, the exits for Colorado Boulevard from both northbound and southbound Interstate 35E, and the exits for Eighth Street from both northbound and southbound Interstate 35E. An important caveat is that these signs must comply with both the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the federal Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices issued by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration, ensuring that the signage meets standardized safety and design requirements. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, giving TxDOT approximately one year to prepare and implement the new signage for the Bishop Arts District, a notable cultural and commercial area in Dallas.
