What to Do When a Traffic Light Is Out
You must stop at the intersection with an out-of-service traffic light the same way you would stop at a stop sign. You may proceed through the intersection according to the rules of right-of-way. If a traffic officer is directing traffic, you must follow their instructions.
What Are the Right-of-Way Rules for a Stop Sign?
When more than one vehicle stops at a stop sign at the same time, the driver on the left must yield, and the driver on the right has the right-of-way.
What Do I Do When Traffic Signals Are Flashing?
Flashing red and yellow traffic signals mean two different things:
A flashing red light works like a stop sign—stop completely and follow right-of-way rules. A flashing yellow light means proceed with caution. Always watch for police directing traffic or other vehicles before moving through either signal.
