Passing target: 75% (30/40)
A storm has cut the power at a busy intersection. The traffic lights that face you show no light at all, and no officer directs traffic. What must you do?
A and B approach from perpendicular streets with space before their white stop lines. The signal heads show no light; a card states that a storm cut the power and no officer directs traffic.
Correct answer: Stop at the line, yield to traffic as at a stop sign, and then go when it is safe.
Why
Power failures can make every signal at an intersection go dark. Ohio law then requires every driver to stop and yield, so the intersection works like a four-way stop. Other drivers may not stop, so watch them closely before you enter. If a police officer directs traffic, obey the officer.
