If a traffic light is out-of-order, you should:

|
|
Look for a traffic guard.
|
|
|
Proceed with the right-of-way.
|
|
|
Behave as you would at a four-way stop sign.

Explanation
If you approach an intersection where traffic signals are out of service or malfunctioning, you must treat it as a four-way stop (also known as an all-way stop), unless a law enforcement officer is present to direct traffic. Come to a complete stop, yield the right-of-way as needed, and proceed only when it is safe to do so. Always use caution and communicate intentions with appropriate signals to help ensure a safe and orderly flow of traffic.
