West Seattle traffic-alert update: 2 stoplights still malfunctioning after 6+ hours

2:26 PM: Just a heads up – the stoplights on Alaska at Fauntleroy and at 42nd are flashing red. Remember that means you need to treat them like 4-way-stop intersections. Thanks for the texts about this!

8:46 PM: Thanks for the updates in comments; we just checked both lights within the past 20 minutes and they are both STILL out. Documented via short Instagram clip – here’s Fauntleroy/Alaska:

We will check early in the morning, too, because if they are not fixed by the commute, could be trouble.

10:10 PM: In addition to updates in the comments (thanks!), we were just out on an errand and noticed that while Fauntleroy/Alaska is working now, California/Fauntleroy and California/Graham are blinking.

Still flashing at 7pm. Plus, a water main break (leaking) at 42 ave sw & sw edmonds st.

Thanks, Bolo – I just went by (8:25 pm) and documented the flashing via Instagram video – we will check first thing in the am (or let us know if you are up early) because if they’re not fixed by the start of the commute, that could mean trouble…

Stop all ways April 27, 2014 (9:29 pm)

Just came through Morgan junction and they are all flashing reds too. Please stop, then go. One guy just blew through and nearly caused a serious accident. Stop all ways. Be safe. Be smart.

Has anybody notified SDOT? Will not be a good commute if they’re still out come tomorrow morning.

Lights are working on Fontleroy & Alaska.
42nd & Alaska are still blinking red.

Just ran through Fauntleroy & Alaska and noticed that. But now California/Fauntleroy and California/Graham are blinking…

Avalon/35th is currently flashing all red. Avalon/Spokane St. was flashing all red as of about 45 minutes ago when I drove through. Oddly enough, Avalon/Genesee seemed to be working fine.

Lights on Alaska & Fontleroy still good.
42nd & Alaska are now good. Have a great evening everyone.

peace

Thank you!

It’ll be interesting to see what SDOT says the problem was. By chance are these all along rapid ride? Did those special prioritizing add ons for the buses break them again?

Sorry, comment time is over.
