Under the new law signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in June, Dallas’s Koreatown and Richardson’s Chinatown will receive official highway exit signage for the first time.

Key Details:

• House Bill 3208, authored by Rep. Rafael Anchía, was folded into broader highway‑signage legislation and approved this summer.

• Signs will mark exits at Royal Lane on I‑35E for Koreatown Dallas, and at Arapaho and Belt Line roads on U.S. 75 for Richardson Chinatown. 

• The Texas Department of Transportation has until September 2026 to install the new signage.

• Longtime advocates like Charles Park and Johnny Lee view the signs as symbols of cultural recognition, economic vitality and community belonging.
