What Do You Do When a Stoplight is Off?
Patch noticed the traffic light at 4th and Main in Royersford was out this morning - what do you do?
Let's say you're driving around town and you come to a traffic light that should be directing traffic, but all the lights are off, just like the intersection of 4th Avenue and Main Street in Royersford on Friday morning? If that happens, how are you supposed to drive through that intersection?
According to chapter 2 of the Pennsylvania Driver's Manual:
"A non-functioning traffic signal should be treated as though it were a four-way STOP sign."
So, if you come to a broken traffic light - pay attention and drive carefully!

It's a free pass. I step on the gas.

It is a 4 way stop. Try the free pass move and kill someone. You will do 5 to 10 in the state Penn for manslaughter.
