When a traffic light is out of service, you must treat the intersection as an all-way stop. This provides a clear and safe way for drivers to proceed because there’s no working signal to indicate who goes first. At an all-way stop, every direction stops, then proceeds in the order vehicles arrive. If two vehicles arrive together, the driver on the right goes first. Pedestrians in crosswalks still have the right of way, so watch for them and proceed with caution. This approach prevents confusion and collisions that could happen if one driver assumed they had the right of way without any signals directing traffic. The other options don’t fit because a yield sign would require different signs guiding who yields; no control would be unsafe and not a recognized rule; a roundabout is a different traffic arrangement with its own rules, not a malfunctioning signal situation.
