Drivers Beware!!

In the winter during the very cold weather, the traffic signals tend to “Freeze” or to slow down considerably and get stuck in a yellow/red or red/red position.

If you are waiting at such an intersection and decide to just go, do so with extreme caution. And all the more the reason during this wet weather. The same gose for pedestrians, keep alert.
