When approaching an intersection with a traffic control signal that is not working, drivers should:
|
Try not to stop if the intersection is clear.
|
|
|
Honk their horns to signal other drivers about the situation.
|
|
|
Speed up and proceed through the intersection.
|
|
|
Stop as you would if there were stop signs in all directions, yield the right-of-way, then enter the intersection.
|
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.
