Relating to driving off the roadway.

HB 5039 clarifies when drivers may not operate vehicles between a roadway's curb or edge and adjacent property for normal travel. The bill prohibits this practice except for specific exceptions, such as parking on the shoulder, emergency vehicles, highway maintenance work, or entering/exiting driveways. It amends Texas Transportation Code Section 545.067 to define these restrictions and exceptions. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects all drivers operating vehicles on Texas roadways.
