UPDATE 10:44 a.m. signal problems have been fixed. Residual delays continue.

WASHINGTON — (WMAL) There are system-wide delays of up to 20 minutes on every metro line as of around 9:45 this morning due to signal or red light problems.

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority is asking Metro riders to leave themselves plenty of extra time to get where they’re going.

The transit agency hasn’t given any more information about the signal problems or how long the delays will last.

WMAL News called WMATA, but nobody was immediately available for an interview.
