Nags Head's Police Department, in collaboration with the NC Department of Transportation and ELS OBX, is taking a significant step to improve safety and convenience in our community.

Thanks to this partnership, and the funding approved by our Board of Commissioners, officers can now place generators at intersections where traffic lights have become non-operational due to a power loss. This means that during outages, they can quickly restore power to these traffic lights, keeping traffic moving smoothly and safely.

Previously, when power was lost, officers had to manually direct traffic or place cones out for right-turn-only access at these intersections. With this new capability, they can focus on other critical duties, knowing that our traffic lights can be re-powered efficiently.

This initiative is a great example of collaboration and dedication to our community. A huge thank you to Nags Head’s Board of Commissioners and the partners involved for making this possible!
