Question

Tennessee state law requires if a traffic signal is not working at an intersection, it should be treated as if it were an always stop. What should you do in this situation?

1) Stop as if it were a stop sign
2) Yield to the driver on the right if there are two or more vehicles at the intersection
3) Both answers are correct

Answer 1

When a traffic signal is not working in Tennessee, you should stop as if at a stop sign and yield to the driver on the right if multiple vehicles are at the intersection. The correct answer is option 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tennessee state law specifies what to do when a traffic signal is not working at an intersection. In such a situation, the intersection should be treated as if it were an always stop. This means you should indeed stop as if it were a stop sign and moreover, when two or more vehicles arrive at the intersection, it's required to yield to the driver on the right. This protocol helps to prevent accidents and ensures the safety of both drivers and pedestrians, particularly in areas where the absence of a traffic signal could increase the risk of speeding and collisions, and where pedestrian traffic is high.
