Explanation
If you approach an intersection where the traffic signal is out of service, you must treat it as a four-way stop. Always come to a complete stop, just as you would at a stop sign. If you are the first to arrive, you may proceed first into the intersection. However, if you arrive simultaneously with a driver to your right, you must yield to them.
