How to see what traffic lights are out in Austin

February 3, 2023

AUSTIN (KXAN) — As thousands are without power as of Friday morning, those outages are also affecting traffic lights in the city.

The Austin Transportation Department has a map that shows which traffic signals currently have issues. At 10:26 a.m., ATD tweeted that 27 signals were flashing or dark because of outages. It also said it had restored 120 signals since the start of the ice storm, “with crews working 24h.”

It is also asking people to report dark traffic signals by calling 3-1-1, filling out an online form or using its mobile app.


Latest on Central Texas power outages

The city has a total of 1,166 traffic signals and pedestrian hybrid beacons.

The city’s website also has a list of other data people can access, including traffic cameras and a map of every signal in the city.

If you encounter a light that is out, treat it like a four-way stop:

The first car at the intersection has the right of way

If two cars arrive at the same time, the one to the right has the right of way
