As a result of a recent neighborhood petition for the installation of a traffic light near East Mockingbird Lane, the Transportation Department (TRN) will conduct a comprehensive traffic study in response to previous traffic accidents, upon request from Council member Paula Blackmon.
The comprehensive traffic study will be conducted on Mockingbird from Greentree, Dalewood and Chapel Hill.

Staff will collect traffic, speed, and accident data for this segment of Mockingbird to identify mitigation measures, Council Liaison Connie Avila, said. They will also conduct traffic signal warrant analyses at the intersection of Mockingbird with:Â Hillgreen and Dalewood/Chapel Hill.
The process of conducting traffic count data will take roughly three months to complete. Once the data is received, an engineering analysis will begin, which may take anywhere from three to four additional weeks to the project.
If the installation of a traffic light is approved, construction contracts will need to seek approval from the Dallas City Council.
