Traffic approaching the light is to stop. If the way is clear, traffic can then proceed through the intersection.
If the traffic lights are not working, the intersection is treated like a 4-way stop. That is, as if everyone has a stop sign.
4-way stop
4-way stop
- A driver approaching an intersection must yield the right-of-way to traffic already in the intersection. (traffic in the intersection has the right of way) - If drivers are approaching an intersection from opposite directions, the driver turning left must yield to approaching traffic going straight or turning right. (traffic going straight or turning right has the right-of-way) - Two drivers at an intersection that arrived at the same time at a right angle. The driver on the left must yield the right-of way. ( the driver on the right has the right of way) -Never insist on the right-away
STOP at an intersection without a traffic light.
The vehicle on the right has the right of way unless entering the intersection at an unlawful speed

When you see flashing red lights at a 4-way stop Light instead of normal traffic signals you should approach the intersection as if it was a 4-way stop sign, alternating N/S and E/W lanes proceeding through the intersection, one car at a time. Typically this type of situation happens when the traffic signal system is malfunctioning.
