DETAILS:
On 5/23/17 a traffic collision at the intersection of Third Street and Rose Avenue disabled one of the traffic signals. This resulted in a malfunction and the remaining traffic signals defaulted to flashing red. The flashing red status of the traffic signals at this intersection is expected to last until late this evening.
Vehicles that approach an intersection controlled by flashing red signals are required to treat the intersection as if there were stop signs present. This situation is expected to negatively affect the flow of traffic at this intersection, especially during peak hours, which may result in significant delays. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes for the remainder of the day.
