Mockingbird Lane is a road located mainly in central Dallas, Texas. It is one of three main arterial roads in this part of Dallas, and is also a major road through Highland Park.
The road runs west from Buckner Boulevard at its eastern terminus, then travels westward past the Mockingbird Station area between Greenville Avenue and North Central Expressway, narrowing to two lanes as it forms the southern boundary of Southern Methodist University, crosses Hillcrest Avenue, and then passes over the Dallas North Tollway, then intersects with Inwood Road. From there, it curves southwestward, intersecting with Cedar Springs Road to give access to the terminal at Dallas Love Field Airport and forming the airport's southeastern boundary, past the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center while forming the campus's northwestern boundary, has an interchange with Harry Hines Boulevard, curves to the west, and then again to the southwest as it passes under Interstate 35E and Texas State Highway 183. Finally, it intersects Irving Boulevard after curving due south, and the street becomes Westmoreland Road at the midpoint of its bridge over the Trinity River floodway into West Dallas. Further east, Mockingbird Lane becomes Peavy Road.
After the construction of Mockingbird Station around 2002, developer Ken Hughes invested $600,000 in streetscape improvements for pedestrians. Unfortunately, the improvements made it worse for the pedestrians and half of the street lights were broken as of September 2012. [2]

It intersects I-35E at exits 27B and 27C but does not connect with I-35W. I-635 and a part of I-20 are collectively designated as the Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway; known locally as the LBJ Freeway, or simply LBJ. The roadway is named after Lyndon B. Johnson, the former U.S. senator from Texas and the 37th vice-president and 36th president of the U.S. Where I-635 ends at I-20, I-20 continues the LBJ Freeway designation heading west. Since the portion of I-20 between Spur 408 to I-635 retains the same names as I-635, the two highways are considered three-quarters of the beltway around Dallas. Together with Spur 408, a portion of Loop 12, and a portion of I-35E, I-635 and I-20 complete the beltway.
