How should a motorcyclist approach an intersection with non-functioning traffic lights?
If traffic signals are not functioning, the intersection must be approached as though it is controlled by all-way stop signs. Riders must bring their vehicle to a thorough stop, check for other road users, and ensure it is safe before proceeding. Law enforcement may occasionally provide specific instructions in such situations, and these should be followed accordingly. This process ensures safety and helps to prevent misunderstandings or accidents involving vehicles trying to cross simultaneously.
