![]() ![]() Question: I recently encountered a new traffic light with 4 different signals including flashing arrows in red, yellow, and green. A traffic control signal that is located in a school zone and is flashing yellow only during prescribed periods of time.An intersection that is controlled by a traffic control signal that is flashing yellow unless certain events occur, including, but not limited to, activation by an emergency vehicle.The “four-way stop” rules do not apply to the following: Exercise ordinary care while proceeding through the intersection.Yield the right of way to all vehicles in the intersection or approaching on an intersecting road, if those vehicles create an immediate hazard when the driver is moving across or within the intersection.Stop at a clearly marked stop line, or, if there is no clearly marked stop line, stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or, if there is no crosswalk, stop before entering the intersection.MCL 257.649 requires a driver approaching an intersection with a traffic control signal that does not clearly indicate the right of way or is malfunctioning to treat the intersection as a four-way stop by doing the following: Question: How do I treat a dark traffic signal at an intersection?Īnswer: When a signal at an intersection loses power and there are no other traffic control devices (e.g., stop sign, yield sign, temporary signal, temporary sign) or police officers present at that intersection to provide direction, the intersection will be treated as a four way stop.
