Question

You arrive at an intersection with traffic lights that are not working because of a power outage

Answer 1

Traffic rules are set by each individual state.

In most states, an intersection where traffic lights are out of order
is treated as if it were a 4-way STOP.

But you can't depend on this answer.  You MUST determine what
the law is in the state where you're driving.  And if you drive out of
state, it may change for you.

Answer 2

Treat the outage of the traffic lights like a stop sign.
