A traffic control permit is required if construction work in or outside the public right-of-way will result in any closure of a traffic lane, blocking of a sidewalk or alley.  A traffic control plan must be submitted with the permit application and must include detailed drawings showing the proposed traffic controls for vehicular and pedestrian traffic for each phase of the proposed work in the public right-of-way. Traffic control plans can be submitted through the Right-of-Way Permit Management System.

Street Closure/Block Party

Neighborhood Block Party Permits are issued through the Department of Public Works, Traffic Safety Coordinators. The City of Dallas does not charge a fee for these permits, but does require a completed Block Party Petition to be submitted ten (10) business days prior to the event. The completed petition form and supporting documents can be submitted as a Traffic Control Permit application through the Right-of-Way Permit Management System.
