When traffic control lights are NOT working, you must _________ before proceeding through the intersection.

• A. Accelerate and proceed
• B. Yield to vehicles only
• C. Stop only if cross traffic present
• D. Come to a full stop

Answer: (D)

When traffic control lights aren’t working, you must come to a full stop before proceeding and then move forward only when it’s safe. Treat the intersection like an all-way stop: stop, look for other vehicles and pedestrians, and yield to those who arrived first or have the right of way. After clearing the stop, proceed cautiously. Rushing through is dangerous, and you can’t just proceed if you think cross traffic isn’t there. You also shouldn’t stop only if cross traffic is present, since the signal being out means you must stop regardless.
