DOT: Cobb traffic signals ‘largely restored’ after outage
Most Cobb County traffic signals that were affected by an outage Wednesday have been "largely restored," transportation officials said in a Twitter post.
About 110 signals reverted to flashing lights, and crews were dispatched to solve the outage, Cobb County Department of Transportation interim director Jim Wilgus told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Wilgus said he is not sure what caused the problem. But it could be a complication from workers making some fiber connections Wednesday. A problem can cause the signals to “forget where they are” and revert to flashing yellow.
The affected signals represent about 20 percent of Cobb’s total, Wilgus said.
