Question

when a traffic signal light is not working, you should:

stop and continue driving when it is safe

slow down and stop if necessary

stop only if other vehicles are present

Explanation:

Analyze standard traffic rules for blacked-out signals

Under standard traffic laws, an intersection with a non-functioning traffic signal must be treated as a multi-way stop (or a four-way stop).

Evaluate the given options

• "Stop and continue driving when it is safe": This matches the requirement of treating the intersection as a stop sign, where you must come to a complete stop first and then proceed when clear.
• "Slow down and stop if necessary": This is incorrect because stopping is mandatory, not optional.
• "Stop only if other vehicles are present": This is incorrect because a complete stop is required regardless of traffic.

Answer:

• Stop and continue driving when it is safe (Correct answer)
• Slow down and stop if necessary
• Stop only if other vehicles are present
