What to do if the traffic lights are out?

Basically, if you come to an intersection where the traffic lights are non-functional (or flashing amber), treat it as an intersection with a give-way way. This means you can slow down, give way to traffic on your right, and continue through the intersection when clear.

If you need to turn right and are worried about through traffic not slowing or stopping, perhaps consider making the turn before or after the junction without lights, so that you can more easily make a left turn. This can be particularly useful at complex, multi-lane intersections, where turning left and perhaps making a u-turn in a side street can be safer and easier than trying to negotiate a large intersection with no signals.
