Description: In September 2016, Hurricane Hermine washed out a portion of County Road 370 on Alligator Point in Franklin County, Florida, forcing traffic to be redirected onto local roads. Continuing erosion resulted in a further portion of County Road 370 narrowing to only be safe for one lane of traffic; starting in March 2017 temporary traffic signals were erected to allow only one direction of traffic to proceed at a time. The passage of Hurricane Michael in October 2018 caused further destruction of the roadway, and by January 2019 these signals were still in place as environmental permits and funding for the reconstruction of the roadway were sought; this is the signal at the eastern end of the one-lane segment, on Alligator Drive.
