A spokesperson said: "Due to a power spike at 03.19am this morning a minimum 68 sets of traffic signals are currently all dark.

"Due to the number of signals involved and that they are spread across the city it will take time for each site to be attended and brought back onto normal operation.

"Road users should exercise caution approaching affected signals in the interim."
