What to do at intersections if traffic lights are out
If you arrive at an intersection to find the traffic light is out, treat the intersection as a four-way stop. This means wait your turn and proceed in the order each driver arrived at the intersection, as traffic permits. Be sure to stop completely.
If you find the light flashing yellow, you can proceed through the intersection cautiously as traffic permits.
A flashing red light is to be treated as a stop sign. Come to a complete stop and then proceed as traffic permits.
