Traffic

Work starts this summer on a street reconfiguration paving the way for a light-rail megaproject.

Officials say they don't expect more tax hikes, but the higher cost could delay a full rollout of the transit expansion.

More than a year after opening, 183 South has no posted speed limits. But that doesn't mean you can drive as fast as you want.

A new push for improvements following a traffic jam at the Rolling Stones concert is moving ahead, but a major road leading to COTA isn't scheduled to be widened until the next decade.

The northbound and southbound frontage roads would run on the same side of the highway from about Cesar Chavez Street to Dean Keeton Street as part of TxDOT's latest revisions to the $4.9 billion highway widening.

Longer stretches of the highway would be lowered, downtown frontage roads could shift entirely to the west side and pedestrian crossings would increase under a proposal TxDOT developed in collaboration with the city.

Proposals for Guadalupe Street near the UT campus would prioritize public transit and pedestrians while drivers would have to "find another route."

The number of cars and trucks on the roads is about 90% what it was before the pandemic, but modified working arrangements have helped reduce the severity of the morning rush.

TxDOT's $674 million plan to reshape the Y in Oak Hill is on the verge of breaking ground as nearby residents keep fighting to narrow the project's scope.

Austin is slowly phasing out a program that made some streets more friendly to pedestrians and cyclists by setting up barriers to slow cars and trucks. City Council created the Healthy Streets Initiative to give people more outdoor space for physical activity.
