Arlington Heights police received a report about 1:16 PM Tuesday of damage to vehicle from a stop light at Rand Road and the Town & Country entrance near Best Buy. Police received a report that a part to a street light fell and broke the windshield of a vehicle. Actually the visor of a traffic signal fell onto the windshield.
The westbound ‘yellow light’ overhead visor fell onto the windshield of a Ford Explorer.
Another missing visor was discovered at the overhead for the ‘green/yellow arrow’ on Northbound Kennicott Avenue at Dundee Road.
The visors are bolted on by several bolts. No word on whether they become loose or are sheared. The weight of snow on the visor can stress the connectors.
