Within Dallas County cities, loading zones are designated by each city's transportation department. In unincorporated Dallas County, Dallas County Public Works marks loading zones on county-maintained roads under Texas Transportation Code authority. Yellow curb plus posted sign indicates active commercial loading only.
Yellow curb paint paired with signs indicates a loading zone, hours of operation, and maximum stay (commonly 30 minutes). Vehicles must be actively engaged in loading or unloading goods or passengers; idle parking, employee storage, or personal errands are prohibited. Within Dallas, Irving, Garland, Mesquite, and other cities, the local transportation department designates loading zones. In unincorporated Dallas County, Dallas County Public Works holds curb-marking authority on county-maintained roads, though dense unincorporated commercial areas are rare in this densely incorporated county. Passenger loading zones (white-painted) allow brief three-minute stops. Trucks exceeding posted size limits or obstructing traffic flow may be cited even within a loading zone if blocking lanes or sidewalks under TX Transportation Code Section 545.302.
Parking in a loading zone without active loading, exceeding the time limit, or obstructing traffic results in citations starting around $50 plus towing for blocking lanes. Cities issue most citations; unincorporated cases go through county constables.
