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.

The City of Salina Public Works Department announces that the limb disposal area will reopen today at 12:00 p.m. (noon) for commercial haulers only. While the site is reopening, conditions on haul roads remain hazardous, and all users should exercise caution. Expect delays.

• Residents are asked to pile limbs near the curb in lengths not exceeding 10 feet. Please keep piles free of trash, fencing, or other non vegetation materials.

Once priority routes are cleared and roadways are safe for operations, the City will begin a citywide limb pickup. Additional details, including scheduling and route information, will be released as soon as they are available.

The City of Salina thanks residents and businesses for their patience as storm recovery efforts continue.
