When approaching an intersection with a traffic control signal that is not working, drivers should:

Stop as you would if there were stop signs in all directions, yield the right-of-way, then enter the intersection.
Speed up and proceed through the intersection.
Honk their horns to signal other drivers about the situation.
Try not to stop if the intersection is clear.
Explanation

If a traffic signal is not working, and law enforcement is not present, you should stop, then yield to traffic as if it were a four-way stop. After coming to a complete stop, remain stopped until it is safe to enter and continue through the intersection.
