Question: If a traffic light is completely out at an intersection, treat it as:

Answer options:

• A yield sign ✅ A four-way stop
• Right-of-way to the larger road
• An obstruction — turn around

Correct answer: A four-way stop

Explanation: Under Ontario law, when a traffic light is completely inactive due to a power outage, drivers must treat the intersection as an all-way or four-way stop. This rule ensures safety by requiring all vehicles to stop and yield the right-of-way to the first vehicle to arrive, or to the vehicle on the right if arriving simultaneously. Treating it as a yield sign, favoring the larger road, or turning around are incorrect and highly dangerous actions that disrupt orderly traffic flow. To pass the Ontario G1 exam, candidates must know this fundamental safety rule, as intersection procedures under diverse conditions are heavily tested.
