The Dallas Department of Transportation will be monitoring weather conditions today through Saturday in order to mobilize crews to repair traffic signals as necessary. Please call 311 or 214- 670-3111 if you encounter a traffic signal on flash and treat it as an all-way stop. Remember to drive safely for the weather conditions.
Safety tips for motorists during a traffic signal outage:
- Treat the intersection like a four-way stop
- The first vehicle to come to a complete stop at the intersection goes first
- If two vehicles arrive and stop at the same time, the one on the right goes first
- If two vehicles stop at the intersection at about the same time and are facing each other, the one making a left turn yields to the one going straight through. Otherwise, both vehicles proceed straight through at the same time.
- In all cases, yield to pedestrians
- Before entering the intersection, be sure other approaching vehicles are following the rules and coming to a complete stop
