City of Dallas requests exception to Abbott's rainbow crosswalk order
NBC DFW 5 ^ | Nov 7, 2025 | Alexis Garcia and Meredith Yeomans

Gov. Greg Abbott originally called for the removal of rainbow crosswalks and other symbols of pride from public roads across Texas on Oct. 8, saying they pose safety concerns and misuse taxpayer dollars.

In a statement, Abbott said any city that does not comply within 30 days could risk the “withholding or denial of state and federal road funding and suspension of agreements with TxDOT.”

Almost a month later, the City of Dallas has submitted a request for an exception from compliance with the standards outlined in the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) October letter.

"The City of Dallas installs standard crosswalks in line with the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (TMUTCD) and partners with private entities for non-standard pavement markings, which are fully paid for by private taxpayers," the City of Dallas said in a statement. "There is no evidence these decorative crosswalks are any less safe than standard crosswalks, and some national research has shown these crosswalks are in fact safer."

Dallas has a problem with hitting pedestrians with their cars.

Thinking about starting a Go Fund Me for confederate flag crosswalks at the intersection of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. If there’s money left, we can repeat it at MLK and Al Lipscomb four blocks to the Northwest.

Government sponsored political messaging always makes everything safer.

It’s time for some MAGA crosswalks to start showing up all over America if you want to play that game.

I’m talking in every state in the country.

Orlando has been ground zero in the battle between DeSantis and the leftists in the City Beautiful.

LGBTQ can have them, so can MAGA.

Then Christian’s groups should request to sponsor crosswalks. Anti abortion groups also. As well as Straight pride, white pride, anti immigration groups, etc. play their dang game.

I would love to have MAGA crosswalks in Seattle. There would need good surveillance cameras to catch the Leftnicks taking a crap on them.
