Senate Concurrent Resolution 46 of the 66th Texas Legislature, Regular Session, requested that the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) sign for free beach accessways and free beach-user parking areas. Minute Order No. 76653, dated January 23, 1980, directed the Engineer-Director to sign for warranted locations.

This section provides guidelines to administer this policy. Standard designs for the public beach access and parking signs (D24 Series) are included in

(SHSD). Brown background color is used for recreational, cultural interest, and historical areas signing.
