Malfunctioning or
Damaged Traffic Signals
It is a potentially
dangerous situation when a traffic signal is
malfunctioning in some way, a traffic signal
bulb is burned out, or a traffic signal is
damaged by high winds or a collision. It is
important for the safety of all our citizens
and visitors of our city that malfunctioning
or damaged traffic signals be reported
immediately.
If
you need to report a malfunctioning or
damaged traffic signal during regular office
hours please call the Traffic Maintenance
Department at (256) 739-8410 or (256)
739-2410 or send a fax to (256) 739-1456.
After regular office hours or on weekends
contact Police Dispatch at (256) 734-1434.
In order to repair the
problem as quickly as possible, it is
helpful if you have at least some of the
following information ready to give when you
call:
1) Name and location of
intersection. 2) What the problem is
with the traffic signal. 3) If a bulb is not
working, which direction is it facing?
(The trucks that we use to repair these
traffic signals are quite large. If we
know which direction the burned out bulb
is facing, we can enter the intersection
from the correct side and, therefore,
have the problem corrected sooner.)
To report a missing,
hidden or damaged traffic sign, contact the
Street Department.
