Power Outage Reminder

The City of Spokane is warning drivers that with the high winds in effect, chances are good there could be a power outage, which means there could be intersections without functioning traffic signals.

If that happens, a reminder to treat it like a four way stop. Everyone stops, then takes turns going through the intersection.

City Street crews are monitoring the weather and are prepared to deploy generators to busy intersections, if needed, but don't have generators for every intersection.
