Street closures for film productions in Richardson require advance coordination with Police and Traffic, a traffic control plan, and off-duty officers for active closures. Minor rolling closures are permitted only with police support.
Film productions seeking street closures in Richardson must submit a traffic control plan to the Transportation Department as part of the film permit package. The plan identifies closure locations, detour routes, signage, barricade placement, and hours. Full closures generally require 10-14 business days of notice, and notice to affected residents and businesses is mandatory, typically by mailed letter or door-hanger. Off-duty Richardson police officers are hired through the department at the production's expense for any active closure. Rolling or intermittent traffic holds on lower-volume streets require police presence even when short. School zones, fire stations, and hospital access routes cannot be closed during peak operations. Thoroughfares such as Central Expressway service roads, Campbell Road, and Belt Line require TxDOT coordination where state right-of-way is involved. Productions must restore the site and remove signage promptly after wrap, and road damage or cleanup costs can be back-charged.
