Clermont, Florida – A malfunctioning traffic signal at a busy Clermont intersection is prompting temporary traffic changes that could affect drivers for several weeks.
According to Lake County Florida Emergency Management, the signal at Pacific Ace Way and Sawgrass Bay Boulevard is currently not operational. Officials said temporary stop signs are being installed, and the intersection should be treated as an all-way stop until repairs are completed.
Emergency management officials said repairs may take several weeks. Drivers are urged to use extra caution when traveling through the area as crews work to restore full signal operations.
The intersection connects residential neighborhoods with commercial corridors and school routes, increasing traffic volume during peak commuting hours. The temporary all-way stop could slow travel times, particularly during morning and afternoon rush periods.
Lake County officials did not provide a specific timeline for when the signal will be restored but said updates will be shared as repair efforts progress.
Motorists traveling through Clermont are encouraged to remain alert, reduce speed, and follow posted signage while approaching the intersection.
This advisory may be especially relevant for student drivers and young commuters navigating the area during school hours.
