#HurricaneMilton has caused widespread power outages, leading to many traffic lights being out or flashing. Treat all intersections as four-way stops. This means you should come to a complete stop, yield to traffic from your right, and proceed with caution. Remember: Be patient. Traffic may be slower than usual. Be aware of your surroundings. Watch out for pedestrians and other drivers. Be courteous. Yield to others, especially emergency vehicles. Let's work together to ensure a safe and orderly flow of traffic during this challenging time. #StaySafe #FortMyersStrong
