BOCA RATON, FL — Drivers in central Boca Raton were being told to avoid a major intersection Tuesday after Boca Raton Police issued a traffic advisory reporting that the traffic signals were out.
In a non-emergency alert sent at 11:43 a.m. Tuesday, Boca Raton Police said all traffic lights at Glades Road and St. Andrews Boulevard were out in all directions. The department advised motorists to seek an alternate route.
The intersection of Glades and St. Andrews is one of the city’s busiest, connecting east-west traffic across Boca Raton with a key north-south corridor. When signals go dark, backups can build quickly and drivers can encounter unexpected stops and cross traffic, especially around midday.
Boca Raton Police is the agency that issued the advisory. The alert did not include a cause for the outage, an estimated time for repairs, or any additional traffic control measures.
What residents should know now is simple: if you normally use Glades Road or St. Andrews Boulevard through that intersection, plan to detour until the signals are working again. Drivers already in the area should slow down, expect delays, and be prepared for congestion as traffic reroutes.
As of the time of the advisory, Boca Raton Police did not provide further details on when the lights would be restored. Residents looking for updates should monitor official city or police traffic advisories and allow extra travel time if they must pass through nearby roads.
This is a developing traffic situation tied to a key Boca Raton intersection, and the immediate next step for drivers is to choose an alternate route and avoid the area if possible.
