Law: Drivers must treat malfunctioning traffic lights as a four-way stop

Although most drivers know that they should treat malfunctioning lights as a four-way stop, this will enforce it as law.

LANSING - It's the law. Michigan drivers must treat intersections with malfunctioning traffic signals as four-way stops.

Lt. Gov. Brian Calley signed the measure into law on April 24, 2018. Most drivers already know to treat those intersections as four-way stops, but police say that some drivers on main roads assume they have the right of way.

The new law makes the four-way stop the official, legal procedure at malfunctioning stop lights.

Note: This was originally published in April 2018.
