No Turn on Red Downtown Expansion Project

Share this:
Project Introduction

The SFMTA is proposing to enhance pedestrian safety by installing new No Turn on Red restrictions and accompanying signage at approximately 200 signalized intersections. The new restrictions would be focused on the City’s downtown North of Market and South of Market core areas where both crash and pedestrian concentrations are highest and is a low-cost measure to improve pedestrian safety by keeping crossing walks clear of turning vehicles.

This project serves as an extension to the currently installed neighborhood-wide Tenderloin No Turn on Red area, which was implemented in 2021. Learn more about the Tenderloin Speed Limits and No Turn on Red project.


This project was made possible in part by Proposition K Sales Tax dollars provided by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority and a federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) grant.


Public Hearing

The No Turn on Red Downtown Expansion Project was presented at an engineering public hearing held on March 22, 2024 to gather feedback from the public. The project was subsequently approved by the City Traffic Engineer for implementation.
