When encountering a blacked-out traffic signal obey the rules of a stop sign controlled intersection?

When you encounter a blacked-out traffic signal, treat the intersection as if it has stop signs in all directions. This means you should come to a complete stop, check for oncoming traffic, and yield to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection. Proceed only when it is safe to do so, ensuring that you follow the right-of-way rules. Always remain cautious, as other drivers may not be aware of the situation.
