CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The traffic signal is out at Riverside Drive and Cumberland Drive, according to Clarksville Police spokesman Scott Beaubien.
At 6:05 a.m., CDE was working to restore power but until then, CPD wants to remind motorists of the following:
- If traffic lights are out completely, treat the intersection as a four (4) way stop.
- If traffic lights are flashing “YELLOW” continue traveling through the intersection, but slow down and proceed with caution.
- If the traffic lights are flashing “RED”, stop and proceed when the roadway is clear.
- If the traffic lights are flashing “RED” in all four (4) directions, treat the intersection as a four (4) way stop.
There have been reports that some power lines are down, use caution and never drive over a downed line. It could cause poles or other equipment to come crashing down, Beaubien said. If you are in a car that has come in contact with a downed power line, stay in your vehicle. Wait until the utility company has arrived and de-energized the line.
