Starting February 1, 2026, Midlothian, Texas, will see new traffic restrictions aimed at preserving the condition of its city streets. According to a social media post by the City of Midlothian, trucks will face limitations on through traffic on multiple roads within the city limits. This initiative is designed to reduce wear and tear on local infrastructure, potentially extending the lifespan of the roads.
Several roads are included in the updated ordinance, with Midlothian Parkway, Mockingbird Lane, Onward Road, North Walnut Grove Road, and Park Place Boulevard being specified as areas where truck through traffic will be prohibited. However, it's important to note that trucks making pick-ups and deliveries on these routes will still be allowed. For those interested in the details of the ordinance, the city has provided a link to the full document available for public perusal.
Local enforcement will be in the hands of the Midlothian Police Department. Anyone with queries or concerns about the new ordinance can reach out to Sgt. Randy Allstot, or the designated Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officers, Chris Vinson and Darren Burkhart, by calling (972) 775-3333. This information was outlined in the social media announcement to ensure that community members and truck operators alike are informed and have access to resources to aid in compliance.
