Oahu drivers warned as dark intersections create road hazards

Aug 18, 2026

Power outages across Oahu have knocked out traffic signals, making driving risky tonight.

  • Many intersections are dark, and only some have officers directing traffic.
  • Police say to treat any dead signal as a four-way stop unless an officer is there.
  • Drivers should slow down, use headlights, and watch for debris, downed trees, and power lines.
  • Police are asking people to stay off the roads in the hardest-hit areas.

Outlook: Roads stay dangerous until power is restored and signals come back on.
