The incredible reason
The technical expertise revealed that snail slime had damaged the electronic board of the traffic light, which caused the simultaneous failure of the signals, indicates RT.
Municipal technicians explained that the system did not activate the emergency mode (which should change the lights to flashing) and kept the green in both directions, dice RT.
Local police intervened to divert traffic and supervise repairs. The traffic light, meanwhile, returned to normal operation hours later.
