What should you do if you are approaching a traffic control signal that is not working?

Proceed through the intersection without reducing speed.

Treat it as a stop sign and proceed when it is safe.

If the traffic control signal is not working, it is important to treat it as a stop sign and proceed when it is safe. This means coming to a complete stop, checking for any oncoming traffic, and then proceeding with caution. Option A is incorrect because it suggests proceeding without reducing speed, which could be dangerous. Option C is incorrect because treating the signal as a caution sign would not require a complete stop. Option D is incorrect because treating the signal as a yield sign would also not require a complete stop. It is important to always prioritize safety and follow proper traffic laws when approaching a non-functioning traffic control signal.
