The traffic signal lights at Bristol Street and Santa Clara Avenue are out in all directions due to a cabinet power outage caused by a traffic accident. The City of Santa Ana traffic signal maintenance contractor is currently working on the cabinet repairs. The signal lights are anticipated to be fully operating later today.
Please use alternate routes and plan for possible delays since the signal outage may impact traffic. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for understanding.

The crackdown includes numerous street and lane closures and over 100 police officers!

Here is what they reported, “Several law enforcement agencies, including the Santa Ana Police Department and the California Highway Patrol, are hoping to stop what has become an unwanted tradition, as visiting family members and revelers hit the streets.”
