TxDOT Responsibilities

The Texas Department of Transportation should, at its own expense:
  • Maintain the surface of paved roads to TxDOT standards. This will include surface, base, sub-base, and subgrade. The roads will be evaluated on a two-year frequency to determine condition.
  • Maintain the surface of parking lots to provide an acceptable parking surface and to provide for adequate drainage.
  • Provide for maintenance of bridges to TxDOT standards. All components of bridges and the channels within the limits of the normal construction width will be maintained by TxDOT.
  • Maintain drainage inside the construction width of roadways. Drainage maintenance should include repairs to all structures less than bridge classification and maintenance of all ditches under and adjacent to the road not to exceed the construction width.
  • Maintain and replace all existing regulatory and warning signs and delineators, such as stop signs, speed limit signs, etc.
  • Maintain all road striping and parking lot striping as currently exists and as required for safe traffic operations.
  • Repair and replace existing guard rails and other safety appurtenances as necessary.
