Snow-encrusted LED stoplights create havoc in Oak Park Heights

Energy-efficient traffic lights on Minnesota 36 in Oak Park Heights caused a major problem for eastbound drivers Tuesday morning after the lenses became encrusted with ice and snow overnight.

“They couldn’t see the red light,” said Police Chief Brian DeRosier. “They kept going through the stoplights because they thought they were green.”
