Power Out To Some Traffic Signals

The high winds are causing problems for drivers. An email just sent from the City of Spokane says that there are multiple power outages throughout the area, which means no traffic lights at some intersections.

Crews are working to get these signals functional again, but a quick reminder that when the power is out, treat intersections as a four-way stop. That means everyone stops, then takes turns proceeding through the intersection.
