Designation by a City
A city may assign a street name to a portion of highway within its limits. Counties may not assign street names to numbered highways.
The process by which a city normally names a portion of a highway within its limits with a street name is as follows:
Step | Responsible Party | Action |
|---|---|---|
1 | City | Enacts a resolution or ordinance naming the highway with a street name and sends the TxDOT district office a letter of notification and a copy of the official document. If more than one jurisdiction is involved, then each jurisdiction must provide a notification letter and copy of the official document. |
2 | District Office | Sends the document to TRF-Traffic Engineering Section (TE) for review. |
3 | TRF | Reviews the name for possible problems. |
4 | District Office | May change out guide signs on crossing freeways, expressways, etc. in accordance with payment conditions outlined following this table and after the execution of any necessary agreement. For details on signing see "Signing Practices" later in this section. |
