In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, many traffic signals across Chatham County are out. If you encounter a non-functioning traffic light, follow these safety guidelines:

• Flashing red: Treat the intersection as a stop sign. Come to a complete stop before proceeding.
• Flashing yellow: Proceed with caution through the intersection.
• No lights: Treat the intersection as a four-way stop. Each driver should stop, then proceed in turn.

Stay alert and drive safely as crews work to restore power and traffic signals.
