Question 4629
At this intersection where the traffic light is not working, what must you do?
- Yield the right-of-way to vehicles approaching from the right, and exercise extreme caution.
- Stop because going through is prohibited.
- Proceed through because the traffic light is considered to be green.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yield the right-of-way to vehicles approaching from the right, and exercise extreme caution.
An unlit traffic light does not control the intersection, so you must act as if it were not there. If there is no other right-of-way sign, you must follow the general rule, yield to anyone approaching from your right, and use extra caution. In the image, the gray passenger car approaches from your right and goes before you. An unlit traffic light means neither green nor red.
