City of Spokane Street crews are starting to receive reports of traffic signals being without power.

City crews will deploy generators to intersections, as needed, but here’s a quick reminder for motorists who might face a signalized intersection without power:  When the power’s out, everybody stops

Motorists should use caution and treat a signalized intersection without power like a four-way stop, allowing vehicles to take turns.
