What should you do if the traffic signal is not working at an intersection?

When confronted with a non-functioning traffic signal at an intersection, following the right-of-way rules as if it were a stop sign is prudent and aligns with safe driving practices. In this scenario, each vehicle should come to a complete stop and ensure that it is safe to proceed before navigating through the intersection, treating the situation with caution and respect for other road users.

This approach helps to prevent accidents and ensures that all drivers understand their responsibilities at the intersection. By adhering to these rules, drivers can communicate their intentions more clearly while maintaining order in the absence of traffic signals.

Prioritizing safety means understanding the flow of traffic and yielding to vehicles that have the right of way, which is essential for smooth navigation in such uncertain circumstances.
