In Washington, D.C., drivers will be banned from turning right at a red light beginning on Jan. 1, 2025, but officials in the district’s Department of Transportation are suggesting it may not be enforced.
The Council of the District of Columbia voted in favor of the ban in 2022, but the Department of Transportation told the Washington Post it has opposed the blanket ban due to confusion for Virginia and Maryland drivers, where right on red is largely legal, and that the council has not given the funds to warn drivers about the ban.
