"Pavement markings such as decorative crosswalks, murals, or markings conveying artwork or other messages are prohibited on travel lanes, shoulders, intersections, and crosswalks unless they serve a direct traffic control or safety function. This prohibition includes the use of symbols, flags, or other markings conveying any message or communications,"
"'None of this is in the name of public safety,' James Poindexter of Pride San Antonio told his local NBC station. 'It's all in the name of political stunt.'"
"' All of a sudden all these [Florida Department of Transportation] trucks showed up, an army of workers, heavy machinery. No notice"
Texas will prohibit decorative crosswalks, murals, and any pavement markings that do not serve a direct traffic control or safety function on travel lanes, shoulders, intersections, and crosswalks. The Texas Department of Transportation directed local governments to follow Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s guidance to keep crosswalks free from distractions, banning public art, political messaging, and nonstandard markings. Cities including Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio were given 30 days to remove existing rainbow decorations or face potential loss of state funding. Florida officials have already removed a rainbow crosswalk on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach, drawing criticism that the actions are politically motivated rather than safety-driven.
