If you approach an intersection at which the traffic lights are not working, you should __________ before entering the intersection.
Correct answer
- turn on your emergency flashers
- come to a complete stop
- reduce your speed
Explanation
Evidently, Arkansas law does not address this situation. However, many Arkansas drivers have chosen to adopt the right-of-way rule mandated in some other states: If the traffic signals at an intersection are out of order, treat the intersection as an all-way stop. That is, come to a complete stop before the stop line or crosswalk, yield according to the right-of-way rules for all-way stops, and then proceed (with extreme caution) when it is safe to do so.
