City Manager Joseph Molis told a public presentation that the Lakeway City Council approved an ordinance the previous Monday prohibiting through truck traffic on several neighborhood streets and raising the fine for violations.

Molis said the ordinance applies to Flint Rock Road, Serene Hills, Highlands Boulevard and Bee Creek Road. He said the city will install signage within weeks, is coordinating with the Texas Department of Transportation to add advance warnings on state routes, and plans an education and enforcement campaign by the Lakeway Police Department. He added the city will contact Google, Waze and Apple to update routing in consumer mapping apps.

"Those signs prevent cut‑through traffic of trucks," Molis said, adding that the ordinance does not prevent trucks needed for deliveries, construction or legitimate local access. He said the council also raised the fine for violations from $200 to $500.

Molis cautioned that construction and delivery vehicles will still use neighborhood streets when necessary and that the measure is intended to reduce cut‑through long‑haul truck traffic on residential routes. He said crews and police will implement signage and enforcement in the coming weeks and that the city must manage expectations regarding perfect compliance.

Ending note: Molis said the city expects the signage and education effort to reduce cut‑through truck traffic and urged residents to report specific problem locations to police for targeted enforcement.
