Strong winds across the Treasure Valley are knocking out power and leaving some traffic lights completely dark.
Police and highway officials remind drivers that those intersections do not become free-for-alls. If you come up to a traffic light that is out or flashing red, treat it like a four-way stop. That means every driver comes to a complete stop before entering the intersection. The first vehicle to arrive goes first.
Officials also say to slow down, watch for pedestrians and never assume other drivers will stop.
