ASHVILLE, Ohio — Traffic lights are out at the intersection of state Route 752 and Long Street in Ashville, and village officials are asking drivers to treat the intersection as a four-way stop until the signal is repaired.
The Village of Ashville said in a Facebook post Tuesday that the lights were not working and urged motorists to use caution passing through the intersection.
Under Ohio law, a traffic signal that is not displaying any lights must be treated the same as a stop sign. Ohio Revised Code Section 4511.132 requires drivers approaching a dark signal to stop and yield the right of way to vehicles already in the intersection or approaching from another direction, the same procedure used at any four-way stop. When multiple vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle to the right generally has the right of way.
Ashville, a village of roughly 4,700 residents in northern Pickaway County, sits along the state Route 752 corridor a short drive south of Columbus.
The village did not say Tuesday when the signal would be repaired.
The information contained in this story was obtained from a Facebook post by the Village of Ashville.
