You arrive at an intersection whose traffic signals are not working; none of the lights are on. What must you do?

Correct answer

  • Treat the intersection like an all-way stop.
  • Sound your horn and drive through.
  • Treat the intersection as if it were closed to traffic. Turn around and find another route.

Explanation

In New Jersey, you must treat a broken traffic signal like a stop sign. That is, you must stop, yield, and only proceed (with extreme caution) when it is safe to do so. If none of the signals at an intersection are working, treat the intersection like an all-way stop.
