Under Kansas state law, when a traffic signal is completely out of service, drivers are generally required to treat the intersection as an all-way (four-way) stop, unless a law enforcement officer is directing traffic or another traffic control device indicates otherwise.
This means:

Come to a complete stop before entering the intersection.

Yield to vehicles that arrived before you.
If two vehicles arrive at the same time, yield to the vehicle on your right.

Proceed only when it is safe.

This is different from a traffic signal flashing yellow, which requires caution but not necessarily a stop.
Important legal distinction: Kansas statutes K.S.A. 8-1508 and 8-1510 address operating and flashing signals, but I could not verify an explicit statewide statute stating that every completely dark traffic signal legally becomes a four-way stop.

🚨 Traffic Alert 🚨 Sunday, Oct 11th the Prairie Fire Marathon will be running through Eastborough. Officers will be at the intersection of Douglas and Woodlawn from 7am until the last runner is through the city. I would expect Douglas and Woodlawn to be shut down from 7:30am - 10:30am. Please use Rock Road as an alternative route to Woodlawn north and south. Thank you

As a reminder, the new school year is almost here. Over the next two to three weeks, students will be heading back to school, and school buses will once again be on our roads.

If you encounter a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, it's important to know when you must stop. Following these laws helps keep children safe as they board and exit the bus.

Please take a moment to review the guide below and help keep our students safe this school year. Slow down, stay alert, and remember: a few extra seconds can save a life.

Just a quick notice: the playground area at the main park will be closed for most of the day. A new load of mulch has been delivered, and the maintenance team is currently transporting it from the parking lot to the playground. We appreciate your patience while this work is completed and apologize for any inconvenience.

🚨🚨🚨Scam Alert 🚨 🚨🚨 Just a reminder to all residents. If you receive a text message stating you have a traffic or toll violation from the Kansas Turnpike Authority, this is a scam. Do not click the link!! If you do, please do not pay any money, do not give any personal information or vehicle information.

A legitimate toll violation in Kansas comes as a formal letter in the mail, NOT a text message, typically identifying the vehicle, toll location, amount due, and potential late fees.
