Several traffic signals on Church Street in Hamilton have fallen silent, prompting the City of Hamilton to issue a public notice to motorists and pedestrians. The outages were reported at the junction of Queen Street and Church Street, the pedestrian crossing opposite the City Hall car‑park on Dismont Drive, and another crossing further along Church Street.

Traffic officials advise drivers to exercise caution and be prepared for delayed crossings as vehicles queue at the affected intersections. The City of Hamilton has confirmed that repairs are underway but has not yet provided a definitive completion date. Residents and local shopkeepers have expressed concern about the potential for increased congestion in the already busy downtown corridor.

In typical Bermuda fashion, the city has assured that emergency services remain fully operational and that any safety risks will be mitigated while the lights are being restored. The incident underscores the importance of maintaining the island’s traffic infrastructure, particularly in the central business district where pedestrian and vehicle traffic is high.

For commuters, the recommendation is to allow extra travel time during peak hours and to stay alert for any detour signs that may appear as maintenance crews work to resolve the outages.
