“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.
