Bryan Police Advisory About Right Turn On Red Traffic Signals Going Away At Some Intersections
The Bryan police department is advising motorists of the city’s first intersection involving a median that no longer allows a right turn on a red light. Officer Seth Waller says the first location is by the post office, affecting motorists making a right turn from Nash to William Joel Bryan (WJB) towards the freeway. Waller says that’s because WJB traffic headed towards downtown can make a U-turn at Nash. Waller says officers have been issuing warnings. Speaking on March 20, 2025, Waller said officers will start issuing tickets in about a week or so. Click below to hear comments from Seth Waller, visiting with WTAW’s Bill Oliver.
