- Lower Broadway between 1st and 5th Avenues is crowded with pedestrians, especially late at night. Metro Nashville cites hazardous conditions near Broadway entertainment venues as the reason for its rideshare-zone work.
- Metro's Traffic & Parking Commission has reviewed a Downtown Rideshare Program with 23 pickup and drop-off zones in existing loading zones and metered spaces (proposed hours Thursday to Sunday, 5 PM to 4 AM, three-minute limit). We could not confirm whether it has been approved; follow posted signs.
- Setting your pickup pin on a side street a block off Broadway usually makes it easier for your driver to reach you.

Accessibility
- If you use a wheelchair or need extra time getting in, add a note for your driver when you book.
Parking compared with a ride
