When a driver approaches a traffic signal that is “dark” with no indications, what is the requirement of the driver of an approaching vehicle?

When a traffic signal is "dark", treat the intersection as you would an all-way stop. Remember that at an all-way stop intersection, vehicles proceed through the intersection in the order that they arrived; the first vehicle to reach the intersection should move forward first. If vehicles arrive at approximately the same time, each driver must yield to the drivers on their right.

Speed up while traveling through the intersection

Stop at the stop line and obey the same requirements of a multi-way stop condition

Continue through the intersection as normal
