House Rejects Left-On-Red Proposal Near State Legislature

Posted Updated

RALEIGH, N.C. — A bill to make turning left at some red lights legal failed in the General Assembly.

House members killed a proposal Tuesday that would have allowed left turns on red only on the one-way streets around the legislative building.

Critics argue such turns would be unsafe for disabled pedestrians.

Others complained the pilot project appeared as though it benefited only lawmakers.
