A power outage in Smyrna has knocked out multiple traffic signals, creating potentially dangerous driving conditions. DelDOT is warning drivers to exercise extra caution when traveling through the area.
Drivers passing through Smyrna need to be extra vigilant today as a power outage has knocked out several traffic lights throughout the area.
The Delaware Department of Transportation is alerting the public about the signal failures, which are creating potentially hazardous conditions for both motorists and pedestrians.
When traffic signals are not functioning, drivers should treat intersections as four-way stops, coming to a complete stop and yielding to traffic that arrived first.
DelDOT has not provided an estimated time for when the signals will be restored, as repairs depend on when power is returned to the affected areas.
Residents and commuters should plan for delays and consider alternate routes if possible while crews work to resolve the electrical issues.
