The Tampa Police Department is warning motorists that a power outage in the area has rendered lights at several New Tampa intersections inoperable Friday morning.

The lights are down at Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, south of Interstate 75, and also at Donna Michelle and Bruce B. Downs north of I-75. This includes the on and off ramps from the interstate, as well.

Police ask residents to treat lights as a four-way stop unless a marked unit and a police officer are directing traffic.
