Liberty County, FL – Drivers traveling through Hosford are being urged to use extra caution today after a traffic signal malfunction at a major intersection affecting State Road 20 and State Road 65.
According to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office, the traffic light at the Hosford intersection is currently operating in flashing caution mode due to a power surge that caused the signal to revert to its default setting. The issue was reported earlier today, and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has been notified and is aware of the malfunction.
Authorities say FDOT crews are expected to make repairs later this afternoon. Until the signal is fully restored, drivers are reminded to strictly follow traffic laws while traveling through the intersection.
Under current conditions:
- State Road 20 remains the through-traffic roadway
- State Road 65 traffic is required to come to a complete stop
Law enforcement officials stress that failure to follow flashing signal rules can increase the risk of crashes, especially during peak travel hours. Motorists should reduce speed, remain alert for cross traffic, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.
The intersection serves as a key connector for drivers traveling through Liberty County and the surrounding Big Bend region, making compliance especially important until repairs are completed.
Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time and remain patient as crews work to resolve the issue. No injuries or crashes related to the malfunction have been reported as of this update.
