Drivers heading through Milford are being warned to exercise extreme caution after a power outage knocked out multiple traffic signals throughout the city.

The Delaware Department of Transportation is alerting motorists that several intersections now have non-functioning traffic lights, creating potentially dangerous driving conditions.
