TYLER — The City of Tyler encourages drivers to remain cautious as high winds are causing trees, limbs and power lines to fall as well as the loss of power at multiple traffic signals throughout the city. As of Thursday afternoon, the Tyler Police Department was working to restore power to traffic signals along Cumberland Road with generators as well as other major intersections. Officers are also working to put out cones on streets with downed trees, limbs, or power lines. <\/p>\n
City officials urged drivers to avoid or use caution near the following areas:<\/p>\n
W. Erwin in the Willow Brook Country Club vicinity for a downed power line
\n 69 North and Loop 323 intersection for loss of power
\n West Gentry and Loop 323 (Hwy 69 N) for loss of power
\n Silver Creek and WNW Loop 323 for loss of power<\/p>\n
Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution when traveling and treat a “dark” traffic signal like a four-way stop \u00e2\u20ac\u201c each vehicle comes to a complete stop and takes its turn going through the intersection. Some school zone beacons have also experienced a loss of power. Drivers should pay attention to road signs and follow directions when traveling through school zones. Officers with TPD have also been working to put out cones on streets with down trees, limbs or power lines. Several Tyler Parks also have reports of downed trees. You’re urged to be cautious when visiting parks; crews will be out Friday morning to clean up.<\/p>\n
