Lakeway bans heavy trucks on 7 city roads In accordance with a new city ordinance passed in February, heavy trucks weighing over 15,000 pounds will now be prohibited on seven roads throughout Lakeway, with violations subject to fines of up to $500. The overview A list of roads on which heavy trucks are now prohibited includes: Lakeway Boulevard, Lohmans Crossing Road, Lohmans Spur, Serene Hills Drive, Flint Rock Road, Highlands Boulevard and Bee Creek Road, within the city’s jurisdiction. Work on the new ordinance began in December, following community feedback regarding the suitability of heavy traffic on streets like Flint Rock Road and Serene Hills Drive. In response, staff were directed to look into modifying the city’s heavy vehicles ordinance, according to city documents.
Rollingwood weighs police force options The Rollingwood Police Department addressed difficulties caused by low recruit- ment numbers in a Feb. 19 presentation on vehicle thefts and burglaries in the past year. The details Between February 2024 and February 2025, a total of 25 theft and burglary reports were handled by Rollingwood Police Depart- ment, with 12 in the last three months, city reports show. Despite competitive salaries, the depart- ment has struggled with recruitment in recent years, Police Chief Kristal Muñoz said. The city has contributed additional funds to assist the department and discussed potentially adding signing bonuses for new officers and providing officers with higher pay for night shifts.

The ordinance does not apply to emergency vehicles, school buses or vehicles used for munici- pal improvements such as road work. What’s next? The city will install signs along these seven roads to provide notice to drivers of new restric- tions, and the Lakeway Police Department will dedicate additional time and resources to enforce the new ordinance, according to city documents.
