If the traffic light is out, how should you treat the intersection?

Explanation:
When a traffic signal isn’t working, you treat the intersection as an all-way stop. That means every road approaching the intersection must come to a complete stop. Then proceed only when it’s safe, following the order of arrival. If you and another vehicle arrive at about the same time, yield to the driver on your right. If you arrive first, you go first. Always watch for pedestrians and cyclists, and move through cautiously as you establish the flow.
