A proposal to ban right turns on red lights has been scaled back. The original plan would have banned right turns at most red lights, but it has been drastically reduced. Metro Council members and transportation advocates are pushing for the change to improve pedestrian safety.

The Metro Traffic and Parking Commission approved the updated plan, which will now be considered by the Metro Council. The council will hold a second reading on the proposal before a possible vote in early October. Many drivers had voiced concerns over increased traffic if the original plan were implemented, and the transportation department said it could not meet the required timeline. Further details on the proposal are available.
