- Metro Council members push forward with no right turn on red legislation
Metro Council members are promoting legislation to ban turning right at a red light in various parts of Nashville to enhance pedestrian safety and reduce conflicts between drivers and crosswalk users. Proponents note that the number of pedestrians killed on Nashville roads increased significantly in 2026 compared to last year. However, opponents argue that banning such turns could increase traffic congestion and make streets more difficult for motorists.
