Nashville Leaders To Vote On Potential ‘Right On Red’ Turn Ban

Nashville, TN, October 6, 2026 —

Nashville city leaders are slated to vote tonight on a proposal that could ban drivers from making ‘right on red’ turns. The potential measure targets dozens of intersections across the city.

The specifics regarding which intersections would be affected and the exact number of locations have not been publicly detailed in advance of the vote. The proposal, if approved, would alter current traffic regulations that permit right turns on a red light after a complete stop in many circumstances, provided it is safe and no sign prohibits it.

Further details concerning the impetus behind the proposed ban, such as safety concerns, traffic flow improvements, or pedestrian protection initiatives, were not immediately available. The council’s deliberation and vote are scheduled to take place this evening. The outcome of this vote will determine whether the ‘right on red’ rule will be prohibited at the targeted intersections. The contractor’s name, the specific legislation being voted on, or any proposed timeline for implementation if approved, were not provided.
