“Be safe. Drive smart.” otherwise known as Operation Slowdown launches in Texas next week – here’s what to know.
Motorists should expect a significant increase in law enforcement presence throughout the campaign. Agencies will intensify their patrols to target speeding and aggressive driving.
According to TxDOT, the Operation Slowdown campaign will run statewide from July 18 through August 2, 2026.
Commuters are highly likely to encounter additional patrol units on key highways, including I-35E, US 75, and the Dallas North Tollway.
If you want to avoid a ticket—and keep our roads safe—the solution is simple: stick to the speed limit.
How about keep people safe by not driving mad max looking giant fuckoff pickup trucks? No, all we ever hear about is speeding and wearing a seat belt, all on the consumer. Nothing of the unsafe conditions we are put in every day because of the auto manufacturers and people who insist they be the largest thing on the road. Nothing of all the semis on the road every day with poorly trained drivers. Nothing of the blinding headlight problem everyone acknowledges but nobody appears to be doing anything about. It’s all on us, all the time.
Do they actually enforce driving laws in DFW?
It depends largely on how expensive your car is and the color of your skin.
