Guidance for Drivers at Dark Traffic Signals

Following recent severe storm activity, the City of Salina Public Works Department is notifying residents that several traffic signals across the city may be without power or functioning intermittently.
When approaching an intersection where the traffic signal is completely dark or flashing, drivers are required to treat it as a four way stop.

What Drivers Should Do at a Dark Traffic Signal:
• Come to a complete stop at the intersection.
• Yield to vehicles already in the intersection.
• Proceed in the order of arrival.
• If two vehicles arrive at the same time, yield to the vehicle on your right.
• Always watch for pedestrians and emergency personnel.

City crews are actively assessing and repairing damaged signal equipment. Some locations may remain without power until electrical service is restored or equipment can be safely replaced.
Following four way stop rules at dark intersections is essential for keeping everyone safe while repairs are underway.

For updates, follow the City of Salina on official communication channels.
