Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
Every signal head at a conventional signalized intersection is dark, and no officer is directing traffic. What should you do?
A and B approach a junction with blank signals and painted stop lines.
Correct answer: Treat it as an all-way stop.
Why
When no illuminated signal appears at a conventional traffic signal, stop at the stop line, or the appropriate crosswalk or viewing point if no line exists. Then follow the applicable stop-sign right-of-way rules. A dark pedestrian hybrid beacon is a specific statutory exception to this dark-signal rule; it normally rests dark.
