What should you do if you approach an intersection and the traffic signal is not working?
If a traffic signal is not working, you are legally required to treat the intersection as a stop. This means stopping completely and proceeding only when it is safe to do so, ensuring that you yield the right-of-way to other vehicles as necessary. This approach helps maintain order and safety when standard signals are unavailable.
